R ,# health drunk by sn numerous and respectable a body of freeholders as were then assembled. He had never had the painful feelings of laioviiting utter the loss of their liberties, for he never knew them to be possessed in their legitimate and proper %:rgree. From his youth, he remembered that the ft:preset:boron of the county of Hants was subject .0 the domination of the Minister of the day. It has long hasp held us a common sentiment by every set of Nliiiisters that had successively governed the station, that the influence of Government in these town* would at all times insure a majority in the county; it was, in fact, a common 'dime in the comity, " That the Minister must have his men." But he (Mr. Carter) believed that on the present °cession he would not have his men ; that the two Members now returned were 'wither of them, he believed, of ministerial nomitiation ; he was eel.- rain his friend (if he would permit him to call eau) so), Mr. Jervoise, would not be at the nod of any Minister; that he would not obey the " Circular" call of any Noble Lord in Admi unitration. He (Mr. Carter) had not, alien Mr. Jervoise offered himself to the county, inquir tit particularly into his precise political senti ments; it was enough for him to know that in Mr. Jervoise the county would have au opportunity of asserting its independence; that Mr.J. was him self an independent mail, whose sole intent would he to serve his constituents honestly and faithfully. it was the destruction of this utinistetial uomi natiou of the County Member', this worse than domestic tyranny, the freeholders were this day met to celebrate, and to felicitate themselves on having made choice of Mr. Jervoise as their Represen tative. lie (Mr. C.) did not object to the practice he had alluded to as being that of the Minister of to-day or of yesterday, brit that any should dare thus to invade the rights. liberties, and competencies of the freeholders; for if they were such as he ap. proved of their general measures of Government. he should he in direct hostility to them upon all ititerfcrence and dictation of this kind. Here (in Porisatouili) the hydra had raised its head, and Inne, he trusted. it had received its deadly blow: but 114 it was in the nature of power long held. not to p irt without struggles, helvad oh doubt, when the next opyorriunity occurred, that attempts would he made to renew the application of this talismanic influence, which had on the present occasion failed in its effect ; he, therefore. would advise the lades re intent friends of the county to be vigilant, united, r 191 detenninerl in their effotts to prevent every estleiscpt. Mr. C. said lie would conclude by y!tilig as a toast, appropriate. he thought, at the coinniencement of a new reign— " The love of s free and iudepenslent people." The health of the Rey.

He w itattly congratalsted the friends of independence ear the event they had met that day to celebrate— described in very animated terms the character of I. friend. Mr. Jervuise. and alluding to the politi csl sentiments of that Gentleman, said, he was swore that. to oppose the measures of those who possessed rite authority of the Government, was too u.tro construed lido an opposition to the King and Catretit te ion, and subjected melt persons to be de laminated as Radicals—a species of political whose wild, wicket,. and visionary schemes of Uni aerial Suffrage and equalisation of ranks and pro p--y, must, if carried intaieffect to-day, be, in the v.ry nature of thing*, destroyed to-morrow. lf, he would mar, a desire to see a retrenchment of the pre sept 1111ree y expenses of the country---the abc -1 of all useless offices, sinecures, and pen coas—and the extravagant and wasteful course of exlwtiditure pursued by Ministers, done away, and the taxes taken from the middling classes and the ittior. and placed more on the shoulders of the rich, w I:0 are better aide to bear them ; with the rights of the people, and our civil and religious liberties preserved. are the constituent principles of Rath. co!isni—then, so far, he must avow himself to be of trat cl ; baba, as is well known, these are not the pri3ciples of Radicals—and, therefore. however cp.. probriou• the name s he must be content. to bear with it. as it was quite impossible he could give up hi•jititgnieut and his feelings on this subject, winch were decidedly, that such meaner's. in the present eitcutuatances the country particularly, ought to be resorted 10. Having oohs alluded to the pre sent italependent Mate of the county represeutatton. and the necessity there would be for smiting in snaictaitaing it, the Rev. Gentleman concluded by " A loos poll, a strong pull, and a pall altogether." C. J. Myron. Esq. expressed his perfect agree. meat in the sentiments expressed by the Ret.

"!HL TYR, MERCURY, * MARES II.) the election for the county of Northumberland took place at Aluswick ou IVetiesday. At eleven o'clock W. Clark, Esq. High Sheriff. attended by a large number of the Gentlemen oC the county, entered the Court, and the usual ceremonies having been gone through— Sir J. E. Switenuttatt rose slid said, the last time lie had the honour of addressing them, he had the mollification to witness the retirement of a Noble Friend of hie, who was a credit to North umherlantl and an honour to the country, and was otie of the ablest and best Representatives ever de legated by them to the House of Commons. — ( Loud appfanse.)—Many Gentlemen in that Court would doubtless recollect the feelings of concern and mortification which were expressed on that oc casion, and he 111111C011SCIOUS that any praise from hint, ay to 11w talents and distinguished character of his Noble Friend, was altogether unnecessary; but they had the satisfaction of knowing that his splendid elognetwe and distinguisheil talents were still exerted in the defence and support of those principles which he had always acted upon. and upon which Ire was confident he would eser act, and that he is now, what he was then, and what he ever will he, the champion of the lights and li berties of the people.—( Loud ekeering.)-- He bad little expected that those feelings of deep concern and regret should have so soon recurred, anti that they should then have a similar loss to de plore, and a like cause to regret in the retirement of Sir Charles Moock.—( Loud applause.)—Every one must honour and respect the motives which in duced the Honourable Baronet to take that step, and they could not but recollect his able services as their Representative—his manful stand in defence of the rights of the people—and they most all feel sincere regret for so great and serious a loss.—(Ap plause. )—And he would assert, without fear of con tradiction, that two more honest, two more upright and independent Members titan Earl Grey and Sir C. Mouck, never sat in the House of Commons.— ( Loud cheers.)—He knew that perfect and entire coincidence in political opinions was not to he ex pected, and was seldom to he met with ; but when they agreed upon fundamtnitel principles, they must overlook their differences oposi minor points. When he saw a young gentlemen of education and character dedicate Ii self with zeal and attention to his duties in Parliament—w h en' lie saw him boldly and manfully disengage himself from the shackles of ministerial depentlaticy—(Applause)— when he saw him dating to Ilsve an optstion of his own—(Applause)—when he saw him advocate mea sures of retrenchment and ecolionry,uud makes bold and not altogether unsuccessful stand ag * t the late enactments, witch he (Sir J.) thought were not only oppressive lint titiconstitutionnl. and which had most extensively and materially trenched upon the liberties of the cutnitry--(sipplriase) —he could scarcely express the gratification which he felt. Such had been the conduct, and such the principles upon which Mr. Beaumont load acted during the short time he had been in Parliament.—s(Applause.) It was upon those grounds and upon those princi ples that he them, caner forward to recommend Mr. Beaumont to their sopiport, and in his mind they were sufficient wounds fir it.—(Applayse.)—fle had not, to be sure, gone so far as lie (Sir John) would have gone. but actuated solely by good in tentions, he hail not sacrificed himself to party, and had acted as lie cousidered right. He also considered that Mr. Brownout hail another claim of great and serious moment. Short as had been the time which Mr. Beaumont had burn in Parlia ment, he had seen that many abuses existed, and lie was friendly to the correction of those abuses ; nay. he would go further and say, that lie (Mr. Beaumont) was not so short-sighted. nor so blind ed, as not to see that those abuses con only be cor rected by a reform iu l'aultament.—(Appluirse.)— Upon that subject lie could shy a great deal, but as that was not perhaps the proper place, lie would not detain them at any great length. He had never come forward on ally public ticrosion with any private view, or to gratify any feeling of ambi tion; but he had always come forward on this ground, anxious to deserve their good opinion, and stand forward in defence of tile rights and choreic- LT/ of the county of N.irtliumberland whenever they had been attacked, or had been likely to he an.—(Lord applause.)—The principles lie had held when lie first entered into public life, remained us,- altered mush unalterable; eight-and-twenty years ago be was a reformer, he had continued a reformer, and he was then • reformer.—( Loud eheers.)— lie was not the friend nor the advocate of those weld stud Mischievous theories which bad been so rife. and se much circulated of late. and which had been betel forth by men who could have no object but delusion. He was the friend of tempe rate, moderate, and coisstitutionat reform. and that otily.—( Loud applause.)—He was the friend of reform, because hr was convinced that if they had betas listened to 28 years ago. the country would not have been in the deplorable, distressed and agi tated state in which it now is.—(Applause.)—And he was fully convinced that if a moderate reform did not speedily take place. for which he believed nine-tenths of the people of Englaud were solicitous, nothing could save us from anarchy on the one hand, or military despotism on the other.—(Lend please.)-1 take this public opportunity, continued the worthy Baronet, of mentioning the efforts of myself and others who have exerted, and shall con tinue to exert ourselves to forward that emote, and I twin the period is fast approaching when the inhabit ants of this county will have an opportunity of de claring their sentiments, by petition, remonstrance, or otherwise, upon that great and vital question. I declare in the face of the county that we court di*. cussion. we are ready to meet and argue the gift.- tioil °reedy. No man of candour, no man of coin anon intellect, will deny that some reform is neces sary ; and provided it be prosecuted with temper and moderation, it must succeed, It is the cause of the country, tlie cause of the people. and the cause of the constitution, which we wish to correct awl restore. because we love. revere, and respect it —( dppluuse.)—The worthy Baronet concluded by swininsting T. W. Brownout, Esq. and said that nothing but a thorough conviction of the honest iiitentions and thorough independence of that gentleman could have intluerd him to nowt nate him.—(Load applause.)—J. 111121), of Chip. case, Esq. seconded the nominetion. Mr. BEAUMONT then presented himself, and was received wills great applause. lie commenced by assuring the meeting that lie had never risen under greater feelings of difficulty. He had long looked forward to that day with feelings of deep anxiety, when lie might come forward to ask in person fur their support, which it was his highest ambition to receive. lie should always consider it an honour to be distinguished by the approbation of his countrymen, but more especially by the inde pendent and high-minded county of Nortliumber land.—(dppluase.)—He was aware of the great caution they should exercise in choosing Repre sentatives, who might truly represent their free spirit iii the Senate. lie was no less erosible of his own ; but he would yield to tio cont• petilor for zeal mid sincerity in supporting the Constitutioss, for maintaining their indepen dence, fur shaking ()lithe shackles of party, mini*. aerial as well as others, and taking one straight. forward and iodepeudent line of conduct, to serve the public and the public good, and that alone.— (dpplumse)—ile was glad to see so full a trieeting, and lie regretted that the Court was not large enough to hold every mail in the county, that every freeholder might hear him vindicate his character, and it had not been his fault that they had not met on m he busting,, and opeuly declared their epproba tom or censure of 1114 COlKlUCtreiPPlallge.)-1 - 1e rejoiced in haviog an opportunity of meeting those who haul raised an opposition against him, and of calling upon thetas for all explanetion of the events of the last two months. lie remembered she pro fessirma Iw had matte to them two years ago, mid lie hid honestly adhered to them ; and lie had done his utmost in discharging his duty to them, to himself, and to his couwtry—braving minis terial power, braving time fury of a mob ; and was it not therefore natural for him to be alarm ed and astonished to feud, upon his returning to ask • renewal of their colifitlence, that an oppo sition haul been raised against him—an opposi tion formidable iii is weight and influence, sup ported by rank and patronage, and uniting in it self the most inconsistent elements, directed solely against himself, to wrest from him the prize the honest pride of his smihition T—(Applaute.)—lt had liven said that Mr. Brandling had conic for ward at the request of his friends, and that, con sequently, implied a censure upon him (Mr. B.), for ell those who requested Mr. Brandliog to come forward must have disapproved of his cooduct, and wished to oust Into from the representation.—(4 p pluuse.)—lle had certainly been astonished at that elimpprobaliou, for he had no cause to expect it, and was not conscious of having given any motive fur it. He could not think that the freeholders of Northumberland, who possessed such noble feel ing-, would suffer such an advantage to be taken of him in has absence—he would not believe, that when he was pile to Inch to discharge his duty to them, they would encourage any attempt to shut the dour tryout hint. Such conduct he should not ex peel fr Euglishmen, and certainly not from the freeholders+ of Nortl herland.—(4pplattee.)—He Wan at first alarmed at that opposition, yet when be Caine to examitie it a little closer, that phantom possessing two heads, turned ditiereist ways-- ( leap/erectus applause)—when be looked into the real solidity of that phantom. he found it merely a gross delusion, without cons?quence, without the spirit of the people, and his alarm was soon quieted. —(Loud applause.)—For time restoration of the trarquillity of the county they were not indebted to oily renunciation of their errors, hut to the re aignation of his late worthy colleague, than whom lie did not believe that a more upright and barest Mull had ever existed. It was to the county at large that lie could confidently appeal sgainst all power, till patronage. and all influeoce.—(Applakse.)— It was far from him to disturb the trauquillity of the county, hut if it would place him ou the proud eminence which lie then aspired to, lie should wish it to he disturbed every day. He then proceeded to state the grounds upon which he considered the op. petition to him had been founded. lie could nut think that they were yet tireJ of their independ ence, or that they would really blame him for hay ing exercised his judgment, mid maintained a strictly independent line of conduct. He had always acted from independent motives, and not f party ones ; and would the Hon. Baronet who hall nominated him as an independent man, have done so if lie had considered him to be attached to a party, even if that party were his own ? There was no person in the kingdom to whom be would entire! with more confidence for the excul pation of Isis conduct than to Mr. Brundling ; and be appealed to that gentleman as a man of honour and honesty, if he had so low an opinion of him as to think him capable of acting fur party views. He feared lie had trespassed too long upon their at. tentiosi, but an apology was not due from him, but from those who had forced this vindication from !um, and it was for them, not for himself, that he sincerely begged their pardon.(/ippietsse.)—ile next re ferred to the votes lie had given upon the live Bills lately carried ihrough Parliament The cir cumstances which gave rise to those measures are too well remembered—are ton deeply fixed to be soon forgotten ; would they could be more easi ly effaced ! All honed men had been anxious that something should be done to relieve the state of the couistry, that the cause of the disease should be ex. *mined, thin caustics should be applied to wounds, and wholesome medicaments be used to renovate time system, that the whole might live and enjoy fresh vigour. The first measure which was brought forward was a mot' for inquiring into the slate of the country. That motiun he had supported, and he believed that its nut coming from the mi nisterial side of the House was the only objection to it. When strong legislative measures were called for, it was suttly nothing unreasonable, no thing extraordinary, oar was it cuistramy to common sense or good reasuoing,tu examine the accuracy of the infortuatiou before them. mid procure more if it could be lied. He asked if that vote, though against Ministers, could give soy offence to the county of Northumberland 1--(Applause)--To softest the rigour of tile Seditious Meetings' 801 l his elroo ts wei e exerted, but with very little success, as he felt that it went to prevent meetings of the people except under such restraints'ilist they scarce ly ever could be held, and as lie did slut think they would hare the desired effect of tranquillizing the countiy. The bast way to accomplish that would be, by removing tilt causes of the discontent which prevailed. He would not believe that any people, much feu the people of England, would be sediti• ous for sedition's sake, nor that they would be uu quiet merely fur the sake of rebellion. Neither could he consent permanently to give up an important part of our constitution to remedy • temporary evil. In the Bill empowering Magistrates to search fur arms by day and night, he voted for leaving out the word night, which he understood was soother grievous charge against him. He considered that it was riot required o and that it was, therefore, dr trimenf al, mid if they looked to the d,•r..rhed dis. non', tii.v would find that it had never Leen acted upon. lie had not said that there was no distress, no discontent in the country, but he contended that that was not the way to !sot it down; nor had brewer said, that there were 100,000 men in inns in this district..•/('beers.)--Amongst the new measures, 1w had pleasure in mentioning one for expediting the course of justice, by limiting the time fur et •,fliaio informations. which he considered a great gain to liberty. The Bill for repre►sing cheap pub licatious lie had opposed, because he did not think it calculated to remedy the evil ; and he was afraid it might prevent the dissemination of political know ledge amongst all classes of people, mud he thought the more widely it was circulated the better. tie also condemned in warm terms the blasphemous publicatioks which of late have been so much circu lated. Having thus explained how far lie lied gone in support of the late nivasures, the grounds upon which his opposition to them was founded, and the objects which he had in view, it was for them to say whether he had departed trams the professions he made when lie last met with them, and whether fur such conduct lie ought to have received such treat. went in the county of Northumberland.—( Loud applause.j—An attempt hail been made to shew that he had cancelled the professions of inde pendence he formerly gave them, by his taking the chair at the Pitt d r held in Newcastle ; but no thing could be more absurd. It was extremely ridiculous to infer, from his presiding at that (limier, that he had pledged himself to support Ministers through thick and thin. He attended that dinner for the purpose of celebrating the birth-day of one of the greatest Statesmen this country ever saw; and lie was sure the Gen tleman who had invited him to preside at it, was solely actuated by motives of kindness to him, and had not the slightest intention to seduce him into • line of conduct contrary to the proles . stens of independence be had made to the free holders, which he asserted were not cancelled, and were not to be cancelled. %Viten lie considered the manner in which the opposition had been raised against him, he felt that as • public officer, whatever proceed;:igs were taken fur. or against him, that they must partly concern those whom he represented,as it was entirely founded upon his public conduct. He was not in the least inclined to discredit any thing coming from so respectable a quarter, but as Mr. Brandling was stated to have come forward at the request of Ilia friends, lie thought he was bound to say who those friends were. They may be numerous, and yet not re present the independence of Northumberland.— The Honourable Gentleman concluded by observ ing, that should lie be again honoured with their choice, he should endeavour to shew hi% gratitude by the best amid most independent performance of his duty.—( Loud applause.) Sir CRARI.Es LORAINE then nominated C. J. Brandling, Esq. in a neat speech, in which he paid u high compliment to the character of that Grim. ileums, and defended the ground► upon which lie hail come forward. C. J. CLAVERING, of Riddlehamloope, Esq. seconded Mr. Brandling% nomination. Mr. BRA N DIA NU then rove, but it was a cor.sider able tirlit befare he could ohtaill a hearing, in con sequence of the great uproar with which he.W:la sailed. As soon as silence was obtained, he com menced by stating dist they had beard onecandidate with patience. and it was only fair that the little he had to say should be listened to with the same tem per. Mr. Brandin% then went into • justification of his conduct during the canvass, and threw I • • self and his cause upon the pod sense of thecounly, with a perfect confidence in their decision. After W. Orde, Joins Brandliog, H. Liddell, and M. Bell, &vs. hail addressed the frerbidiers, the Sheriff took the sense of the Ileeting, and declared Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Brandling to be duly elected, when they severally returned thanks. The following Resolution was inoveal by C. W. BILGE, E•q. and se...onded by Sir Ai. W. RID..

He lied scared,/ any nerd to mention the PrioressChorlotte —( hear, hear.) " Sioniory of the Princess Chailwite of 11'ales,"was them drunk is, silence. The CHAIRMAN then said, there were two meat. Derr of the Royal Family (of whom, unfortunately, one only now existed) who had beets dear to the Li. tixeris of Loudon by their continual attention to a.l works of charity, wad who would not be the dear to the company because they had bottomed liiv worthy friend, Mr. Alderman Wood, with their personal friendship. He would theref me propiree the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sue. sex, to whom this mark of revpect, he observed, would not he the lava grateful from its being con nected with the memory of his brother. . _ _ " The Duke of Sussex" 'was drunk with applAture. After some appropriate toasts and st . W;gr, The CHAIRMAN said, lie had to impose the health of a man, who was known thew all its some capacity or oilier. To the elder moot% them he wits known as the ►uccessful advocate of the li berties of the subject in Courts of Justice, anti as the peculiar champion roil ornament of the Trial by Jury ; to the younger among them as the equally strenuous supporter of the litseities of the people to Parliament. He proposed the. health of " Lord I.:rid:isle," which was received with the warmest ap. which continued for some minutes. Loyd 7.ItIIKINE returned thanks, and expressed the manner in which he hail been ate-ctrl at the reception his name hail met with. He toctiicattl on the meeting the necessity of a maintenance of the spirit of Trial by Jury, and of a !Worm in the Representation of the People. He Photocell, that he was a citizen. though net a Liveryman of Lon don ; if he had stood its the latter situatioio he should have tendered Ina vote for hit Holoonrallit Friend (Mr. Wood), and argued on the legality of it. This would have done uo good to leis Honour able Friend, but it would have raised by one vote his majority on the poll.—(dpplause.)—His Lord ship then alluded, its terms of congratulation, on the result of the Revolution in Spain. " The Canoe of Freeduni iu Spain, and the Indrprntlenee of South Anwiriea"—was drunk with applause. The CHAIRMAN said, that the toasts which limil hero hitherto given, though they breathed the poli tical feelings of the company, were 1101 ))))) redo lately comiecied wills the object of the tnertiroy. He had now to give the health of • matt whom all the meeting had hailed as the worthy RepreseroL.- tire of the City—who had received honours, he believed unexampled, from his fellow-criiseiw, and had How for a third time been sent to the House of Commons as the advecate of their rights. lle should have felt ashamed if the private character, us well as the uniformly consistent conduct of the worthy Ald, man in his public trust, had not te curtd that result. " Alderman Wood and success to hise—was drank with universal *eel unatissa. Mr. Alderiarms Wows returned thanks, and stated, that be lamented that he had not been this time returned to Parliament supported, as he hod before been, by two gentlemen of similar political principles. Yet, setting personal feelings apart, lie was di-posed to consider, that the fact of his bell.: placed at the head of the poll, was a specie.' ut triumph to the cause of liberty. The CHAIRMAN proposed Messrs. nyng and Whitbread, the Members fur Middlesex. Wheal his neighbour's house was on fire, a man Wall sop posed to feel most warmly interested, and on this principle nothing could be more interesting to the citizen. of London than the late contest in sex. 1 t Middlesex, a Gentlemen, who was lit other respects perfectly unexceptionable and inc tonsure, had been rejected by the county I.r political Pahservieury, while his colle.tgite, who differed f hint in Ito other respect but i t it political itidepeodencr, had been sulleied to !T -wain, and had lo.eit associated with a Getitlignati as yet comparatively unknown, but choseii o r our. of the best principle, viz. that lie W:oi of a good breed.—(Applause.)—tie concluded by giviog. the healtlis of 31r. 11p% and Mr. Whitbread.—( Loud applause.)
