We had neither time nor space yesterday to give full vent to the feelings excited by the sad occasion that immortalized the day. The mo ment when the funeral solemnities are paid to departed worth, always adds sensibly to the bitterness of the loss. Till that period, the priiation does not seem altogether com plete. The heavenly spark, though it has fled for ever, appears still to linger among the mortal and fading lineaments which it in formed and animated ; and it is only when the material tenement is finally removed to its gloomy repository, that we feel that the very twilight of life , has expired, and that all is darkness. The scene must, at any rate, have been inex pressibly affecting, which consigned the e l''ains of Mr. CANNING to the grave.— tut t o watch their entrance into the mighty a nd magnificent cemetery which enshrines the precious dust of almost all the departed 41 1 d canonized genius of England,—to be hold theta followed, with bitter and heart- Wrun g tears, by Princes, by Nobles, by States- Men, by Senators, by the true and honest and loyal English people,—all this formed such a co ncentration of affecting images and associa tions, as no feeling,—no imagination, could resist. The past and the present,—the dead end the living,—were crowded together into a picture equally grand, touching, and melancholy. Amidst this scene, those well-known lines : " Ne'er to these chambers where the mighty rest, Since their foundations, came a nobler guest," could not but occur to the memory ; but there is one view in which they applied to the occasion with peculiar emphasis. In the vaults beneath that awful pile,---Statesmen, and Orators and Poets and Sages,—men of action and men of Literature,—m en of gay wit and men of grave counsel,—lie promiscuously entombed ; but per haps no genius could have claimed kindred with a greater number of those honored and conse crated names, than that of GEORGE CANNING. All the lightest and all the heaviest enginery of intellectual power,—its missile and its manual weapons,--its vigour and its hard ness and its polish,—its weight and its point and its fire,—were never so completely, so harmo niously, so beautifully, collected together within the armoury of a single mind. With astonishment we have witnessed at tempts to depreciate his oratory. To say that be did not altogether attain to the deep-toned Majesty of PITT, or the vehement passion of Fox, or the comic spirit of SHERIDAN, or the unearthly philosophy of BURKE, is only to say that he did not realise that ideal perfection of eloquence which CICERo vainly so ught, even in the pages of his idolized model, I) EmosTHRNEs. Of Mr. CANNING it may suffice to observe, that his single genius ena bled him nearly to rival each of those great Masters of parliamentary debate in his own pe culiar style of excellenc e ; and that to this assemblage of qualities, he added a degree of classical grace and elegance altogether his ONVII. If not properly the greatest, he was un doubtedly the most finished, orator of modern times. His reasoning was as exquisite as his wit. He was the charmer that charmed wisely." At the commencement of a speech his style was, perhaps, somewhat too measured, and his delivery Partook of mannerism. But all this presently disappeared. As lie grew warm, he seemed light cd like a figured vase of exquisite beauty. When fully in intellectual action, his head, his figure, his movements, became a model for sculpture. His features were beautifully chissel led, and his voic e was pusic.- That man is the true orator who is great on a great occasion. The last of Mr. CANNING'S first-rate efforts was his reply on the question re spectin g t h e recen t i nvas ion o fP or t uga l by S pa i n . i\T "e will ever forget that exhibition who witnessed it. None will ever conceive it who witnessed it not. He stood that day in the place and the attitude of the chosen and cherished representative of England's greatness and glory, and he rose to the full sublimity of the character. The calm ness of his brow—the lightning of his eye—the unaffected earnestness and unlaboured dignity of his manner—the magic of his tones—the elo quent blood which flushed his pallid cheek,—the electric effect of his sentiments, full fraught with a good sense, and warm with a fire, and a feeling that went home to every English heart,—such were the elements of that memorable speech ; and over the whole was thrown such an air of undescribable grace as no other speaker pos sessed ;—a veil of fapcy and eloquence, which seemed to invest his argument as lightly and as floatingly as the mantle of an angel. But we must not indulge those fond recollec tions. He is gone ; and rather than dwell on a favourite image, let us call on those on whom shall devolve the deep responsibility of conduct ing that government which he formed, to emu late his public principles, his energy, his pa triotism, his devotedness to the duties of his high vocation. May they resemble him in all but the premature close of hi: career of glory I Then will their country write their names on the same page with that which his memory emblazons ; and the friends who shall one day mourn their loss, will be solaced by reading their history in the overflowing eyes of a nation. The Paris Papers of Tuesday, and the Gazette de France dated Wednesday, arrived last night, and possess more interest than usual since the establishment of the rigid Censorship which now exists. The intelligence which they furnish from Lisbon comes down only to the 30th of .Tuly, but it spews clearly that although tranquillity was apparently restored in the Capital, it was con sidered that description of calm which forbodes a storm. The dismissal of SALDANHA was expected to produce a strong sensation in Oporto and the Provinces, the re-action of which would in all probability renew the popular feeling in Lisbon, where dissatisfaction and distrust per vade every class. Even Count VILLA FLOR has lost his well earned popularity by his conduct during the recent disturbances, having, it is said, treated the assemblages of people as the Canaille, although it is asserted they were principally corn posed of the 'Elite of the City. In fact the in telligence respecting affairs in Lisbon is such as to confirm the opinion we have often expressed, that without some very decisive measures are speedily taken—a scene olanarchy and bloodshed will inevitably ensue. This will be expedited by the conduct of the Court of Madrid, who will make the recent commotion a Pretext for moving the Army of Observation to the Frontier of Spain. Letters from. Madrid men tion that such will be the case ; and coupling this intelligence with the observations of the French Papers on the probable effect of the death of Mr. CANNING on the affairs of the Penin sula, and their inference that the return of DON MIGIJEL will restore " the ancient order of things," we have no doubt that Spain is about to renew all her previous demonstrations against Portugal, and will ultimately carry her interfe rence in the affairs of that kingdom farther than mere demonstration. The policy of Great Britain will not, however, be changed by the death of her Minister, and the Administration of Lord GODERICH will protect the integrity of Portugal with the same fidelity to ancient treitties and regard for the liberties of mankind as dis tinguished the Administration of our late la mented Premier. The Gazette de France contains an article dated St. Petersburgh, July 28, which entirely discredits the reports of a speedy conclusion of peace between Russia and Persia, and presages rather its long duration. Blame is attached to General YERMOLOFF, who, we presume, will in consequence take up his future residence in Siberia. The Gazette de France also contains a letter to the Editor, recommending the actual conquest of the Barbary States and their coloni zation by - France. The observations of the Editor are not of a character to banish the, sup position that such an extraordinary idea does not exist, but they would rather lead to a contrary inference. At all events the appearance of such a proposition in the Government paper is re markable,"though it can scarcely be credited that France would undertake an enterprise so pre posterous in itself, and so objectionable to other States.

BRUSSELS, Auc. 1 I Russian Cabinet Messenger passed through this city last night, on his way from St. Petersburgh to London, with despatches. An Austrian Cabinet Messenger passed through this morning, coming from London, with despatches for Vienna. His Majesty's ship of th e li ne th e K or tenar, Captain Bloemendaal, bound to Batavia, is to sail from the Helder on the 28th of this month. AUG. I . —Since the official announcement of the 9n elusion of the Concordat, every body endeavours to divine the contents of it. Some say the number of Bishoprics is doubled ; that Liege is erected into an Archbishopric ; that the Prince Archbishop of Malines is to have the dignity of Cardinal ; that a Nuncio will reside at our Court ; that the Philosophical College will subsist only for the past, which does not concern the branches of learning that are purely eccle siastical ispa 9thcri bay, tlicfe are only two my NwApprico, Brigs and Bois le Due ; that there is no intention of having an Archbishop at Liege; that the Philosophical College will be preserved entire, nay, as a faculty of divinity, with great privilege for those who shall take their degrees in it ; that all this will be arranged in concert with the Bishop ; that the latter will be allowed to retain the great seminaries, and to teach theology, but without privileges for those who shall study in them. It is added, that there is no ►=iention of re-establishing the little seminaries, and that the Concor dat says nothing of the primary schools or religious houses, &e. These reports may be considered as all equally un founded. AUGUST 12.—A British Cabinet Messenger passed thrones this city yesterday afternoon on his way from Con stantinople to London, with despatches. Col. Jones, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Wellington, arrived on the 10th at Ghent, and immediately inspected the works of the new citadel. On the same day he went to Termonde for the same purpose. It is supposed that the Duke of Wellington will arrive at Ghent in a few days to make his annual tour, to inspect the fortresses, unless the death of Mr. Canning should snake any alteration. "AUGUST 13.—The health of her Majesty is satisfac tory. The fracture is in.a favourable state, and promises a happy termination.—No more bulletins will be published for ten days. (Signed) " GUERARD. " Lacken, Aug. 13. " J. B. UYTTERHOEVEN." STOCKHOLM, JULY 81.-It is said that the King will go to Christiania to close the Storthing in person, and that that Assembly will be convoked for an extraordinary Ses sion next year, to reconsider several Resolutions made this Session. Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated the 3d of August : . The Ministers are at present occupied iu arranging a Treaty of Commerce with the Ottoman Porte. I wrote you concerning the failure of Urionabuena, it is said he will obtain an order from the King for a delay of payment. One of our Archiveques and a Bishop have also obtainsd from the King a delay for making payment; these two Prelates had in circulation a considerable number of bills of exchange, with their acceptances on them, to provide funds for the use of the Apostolic party in their late designs on Portugal, but when they became due, they bad no money to discharge the same. I do not know what foundation there is for the report, that the Army of Observation has received orders to approach the frontiers of Portugal ; but it is certainly true that the late letters from Portugal are rather alarm ing. The Army of Observation still remains concen trated in the same cantonments; although the Government are very urgent in sending troops to Carthagena and Arragon, they still have some fear to divide the army....._ Orders have been sent to the 6th and Bth regiments of th e line, which are in Andalusia, to proceed by forced marches to Catalonia; and the Ist regiment to proceed to Arragon. Zamhrano has also given orders to the Inspector-General of the militia to put four regiments under arms. We received this morning the Journal de St. Petersburgh of the 31st nit. It contains an Imperial Ukase to the Senate, granting a full and honourable discharge to Count CAPO DISTRIA from the Russian service. The news from the Army in Georgia possesses little interest : ST. PrTERSBURGH, JULY 30. His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to address the followinc , Ukase to the Directing Senate : " In conformity with the wish which has been expressed to us by our Privy Counsellor Count Capo d'lstria, we have consented to give him his full and entire discharge from our service. It is agreeable to us on this occasion to testify to him our entire gratitude for the enlightened zeal with which he has discharged his functions, for his de votedness to the interest and glory of Russia, and for his attachment to our beloved brother, the late Emperor Alex ander, of glorious memory, whose confidence he al ways fully justified. We take pleasure in assuring him by these presents of our invariable regard. " Signed by his Imperial Majesty's own hand, " Zarskojeselo, Ist (13) July, 1827." " NICHOLAS." The George the Fourth steam-boat arrived here yester day at seven o'clock in the evening. It sailed from London on the 20th of July, and has consequently been nine days on the voyage, having stopped two clays at Copenhagen and Christiansand to take in passengers. A communication by steam-boats has been established between Odessa and Chersen. u p to the 25th of this month '78. 2 • vessels had arrived at Cronstadt—sailed 4GB. NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA. Colonel Schepkopff, who had been detached to cut off the retreat of Ilassan Khan, discovered on the 12th (24t1►) June au inconsiderable body of the enemy, which fled towards Sardar-Abad as soon as it was attacked by the Cossacks. It was found that Hassan Khan had reached Sardar-Abad by crossing the mountains in the night, and that he had afterwards retired toward. the Araxes. Col. Schepkopff returned to Etchmiadzine. Major-General Baron Rosen, who arrived on the 26th June witl► the 2d brigade of Hulaus, reports that he had advanced as far as Beach Abarane, but that his scouts had no where met with the enemy. The camp of the detachments which bad been placed in Karabagh, near Duschksane, has been removed to the gardens of Djibrail, situated five wersts to the north of Pekhli-Tchikar.—The troops and the convoy continue to advance : all the latter have arrived safe in the Garnitchai. On the 30th June all the troops would again sat out, and then advance without stopping. Lieut.-General Korganoff, who had been sent towards Lake Golitcha by Gen. Paskewitch, reports, that the 1300 Nomade families, whom he found assembled, heard with joy that they bad been taken under the protection of his Majesty the Emperor; and adds that part of them are already removing into our territory. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 10th inst., received this morning, contains the following ob servations, from Odessa, upon the convention en tered into by the leading powers for the pacifica tion of Greece : ODESSA, JULY 26. The affairs of the East assume now a more serious aspect since the publication of the convention between England, Russia, and France, for the pacification of Greece, (the outlines of which we gave in the Algol:eine Zeitung two months ago). The object of it is to put an end to the effu sion of blood in Greece, and we are therefore drawing near to the time when this noble end will be attained in the manner laid down, and in spite of the protest of the Divan. At Constantinople no hopes are entertained that the Porte will accede to the conditions to be proposed to it, though the European agents at Pera still seem •to flatter them selves with this expectation. The stipulations made at Akermann, which were founded on previous treaties, did not, in our opinion; by any means so nearly affect the essence of the right of sovereignty as the treaty of 6th July, 1827. It is, therefore, not to be wondered at, if the Divan, under the present circumstances, shows an inclina tion to execute the convention of Akermann - . But the con vention fer the pacification of Greece, which has, besides the great advantages for the European Powers, that a land war shall be avoided, affects the dearest interests of the Porte and the ancient prejudices of Mahometanism in such a manner, that .the Porte will undoubtedly resist as long as possible. Whether it possesses strength equal to such a resistance, may be well doubted. Every body, therefore, is curious for the issue of an undertaking, by which the Gordian knot shall be unravelled without the help of the sword. A coternporary of yesterday evening, after stating that the intelligence copied from the American Papers, giving an account of a serious aff:ir as having occurred at Lintin between some English and Ame rican boats and the Chinese, on the Ist of March, in which a loss of several lives took place, proceeds to contradict the whole as a complete fabrication to raise the pr ic e of . tea • and further states, that two Captains , who sailed on the 6th of March from Lintin, had been in terrogated, and who stated no such occurrence had taken placed. Now if the writer had referred to the article itself, he would have found that no date is given when this fracas took place, and that the letter which gives the account, is dated from Lintin, on the 20th March, frOm which it may be fairly deduced that the information may still be substantially correct, without impugning the veracity of the two captains in question, as a period of fourteen days between the 6th and 20th took place, in which period the event might have happened ; and if so, it may not have unimportant effects on the parties engaged in trade with these singular people and their Government. FROM CIIINA.—A letter from an Officer of an Ame rican vessel at Lintin, dated March 20, 1827, gives a disagreeable account of a battle between five American and English boats and two Chinese Mandarin boats, one of them a man of war's launch. It appears that the Chinese took, in their own waters, an American pass-boat, Witich was cowing ti9wri with 9 icro to th c , A mer i co ;lip Citizen, of New York, to proceed to Canton. That on this the American and British boats went in pursuit of them . ; and, when they approached, the Chinese assailed them by a fire of muskets and stones ; that the English and Americans returned the attack, and succeeded in re taking the pass-boat. That it was reported that two of the Mandarins were killed, and 20 Chinese wounded in the affair, and that two men of their opposers were slightly hurt by the stones. It is added, that three or four Chinese vessels of war were lying at Until), and thirty more said to be coming down from town ; that the Ame rican and English vessels were lying with their guns double shotted ready for battle ; and that it was expected that the event would stop business for some time at Wampoa. The parties in this affair certainly exercised much spirit ; bnt the transaction appears to be a violation of neutral rights, which would not be submitted to in the Delaware or the Thames.--Columbian Sentinel, July 18.. Papers from Trinidad to the 4th ult. have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. Sir Benjamin D'Urban, his Lady and suite, landed on Sunday, June 24, at the King's wharf, from the army brig Duke of Yore, when they were received with the usual honours, and immediately proceeding in his Excellency the Governor's carriage, to Saint Ann's. Sir Benja min commenced his inspections on the 25th, with the 86th Regiment, stationed on this island. By a recent General Order, the whole of the first division of the militia forces are to parade on the first Sunday of the month, as formerly, to commence on the Ist July, on which day his Excellency Sir B. d'Urban reviewed them on the Upper Savannah, facing his residence at at Saint 'Ann's. Upon this occasion the corps mustered strong, and in their usual cleanly and soldierlike state, and formed a respectable and imposing line ; after going through several movements with great precision and steadiness, Sir Benjamin addressed the Col.-Comman dant Corrie, expressing the highest satisfaction at the whole division, its general appearance and state of discipline, and concluded by thanking the Colonel, for the very interesting field-day he had afforded them. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwBL PR o' CL ocr. About an. hour before the close of business at the English Stock Exchange yesterday a number of re ports were in circulation, not one of which could be traced to any authentic source, but they had the effect on the price of Consols which the propa gators desired:llod they fell nearly 1 per cent. ; they were done as low as 88/ 1, after having been 89/ in the early part of the day, and closed at 881. This morning the first price was 88f for money, 88 a for account, and 88i 9 for October, and they are now rather higher, being 89a for account, and 89 6 for October. India Bonds are 92 4, and Exchequer Bills, 59 60 pm. Little business has been doing in the Foreign Funds; Colombian, 31 f; Mexican are heavy, being 68i 4. The Mexican Financial statement, given in a morning paper to-day, has occasioned some sur prise in the City, and it is justly observed that a very pretty picking hangs to the agencies con nected with the Foreign Loans. It remains to be seen how the house alluded to will rebut the statement. It can create no wonder at the difficulty the different States find to meet the pay ments of the dividends, when the sum received is clogged with such enormous charges under the head of Commission, Agency, &c. Russian Stock is a little lower, at 9G-?-, 7. In Shares, Braiilian Mines are 13 14 pm.; Real del Monte Shares are nominally quoted at par 20 pm. The report in the City is that several of the new arrangements of the Ministry will appear in this Evening's Gazette : it is also strongly believed that the return of the Duke of Wellington to the Corn mander-in-Chiefship, is positively settled, but that it is without a seat in the Cabinet. There are doubts, however, of its being ameng the appointments to be officially announced this evening. Three per Cent. Consols, ss- a4 ; Ditto for Oct.

There are still small supplies of English Corn, but another good arrival of Foreign Oats. The Wheat Trade remains dull, at the same terms as Monday last. Barley is so little in demand, that last quotations can hardly be sup ported for this article. Beaus and Pease are unaltered. Oats find very few buyers, and, while the best samples maintain the terms of Monday, other kinds may be pur chased rather lower. Flour sells very heavily. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—The market continues very flat, and the few sales effected this week hdve been at a further decline in price, particularly of the grocery descriptions; the Grocers and Refiners still refrain from purchasing in the present state of the market, except for their immediate supply, although neither hold any stock : the falling off in the weekly deliveries from the West India Doekr, occasioned principally hrthe late advance, added to the late arrivals, has brought the present stock upon a par with that on hand at the same time last year. Delivered last week from West India Docks, 2,184 hhds., 232 tierces. Stock on hand in West India Docks (on 13th inst.), 33,970 !ids., 3,301 tierces.

REFINED Suciats—This market is in such an unsettled state, that it is rather difficult to ascertain the particulars of the little business there is doing ; some parcels of brown Lumps in second hands, originally bought to cover export bonds, are reported ti have been sold Sts. 6d. a 829. 6d., geed small Lumps 845., and single Loaves a 85s. for pack ing.; in the grocery descriptions there is nothing doing; few parcels of crashed have been sold this week, but at lower rates, the refiners being anxious to complete the quantity they have given bond to export.—Molasses heavy a 265. Corpaa.—The only sorts in demand are the middling and good coloury descriptions of plantation, and for those qualities very full prices have been paid this week : 1219 casks have been offered by publi(i sale, consisting chiefly of the ordinary qualities of Jamaica, only part of which were sold, at a reduction of from 2s. to 4s. per cwt. : nearly the whole of the quantity .offered to-day was taken in, there being scarcely any offers made. A small parcel of St. Domingo, ordinary to good ordinary quality, sold on Tuesday at 425. 6d. to 445. 6d., being a reduction of about Is. ; rather a large parcel is advertizetl for sale to-morrow. Delivered last week from the West India Docks, 620 casks, 552 bags, &c. Stock on hand in the West India Docks (on the 13th inst.), 13,630 casks, 76,609 bags, &c. Stock on band in the West India Docks (on the 15t1: August, 1526), 15,697 casks, 76,353 bags, &c. FR.UIT.-Currants have become scarce, and the trade are picking up in the market such as can be obtained at the present quotations, none remaining in the importers' bands. 100 barrels Red Smyrna Raisins, just landed, at Trieste, have been sold at 535. ; Valentia Raisins are being taken off freely at the prices quoted. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— EDINBURGH, Ave. 13.—Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a singular and distressing accident occurred in Borthwick's Close. One of the chimney stalks of the third land on the west side from the bottom of the close, consisting of three flats, and inhabited 1m several families, suddenly fell with a tremendous crash, some of the stones passing through the roof and the several floors. By this occurrence, a Mrs. Delancey, a widow, who with her family inhabited the upper flat, lost her life, being suf focated with the duet, and another woman, Mary Cameron, and several children, were severely. bruised by the stones and rubbish. Mrs. De lancey's body was carried to the Police.office, where every effort was used by inflation and otherwise to restore animation but without effect ; Mary Cameron, her child, and three children of the woman who was suffocated, James Martin, Elizabeth Martin and child, and James Shillinglaw, were sent to the Infirmary, more or less injured. The house, we under stand, had been condemned by the Dean of Guild some time ago ; but his Lordship's de cree of removal had unfQrtunately not been car ried int 9 execkagi. LAW INTELLIOENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. JUDGMENTS. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, this morning, that he meant to give those Judgments in the cases that had been heard by him, and in which he had not yet delivered his opinion, in the course of the vacation► ; and he thought that though the King's Counsel might not be able to at tend, yet that very probably, junior Coun-el might make it convenient, which would answer every purpose. Many of the bankrupt petitions, when called on, cryaibled into nothing. No point arose in them either of importance to the public or the parties, further than that the paper ap peared to have been loaded with petitions, evidently for the purpose of delay. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. EX-PARTILAIATII, IN THE MATTKIL OF BIRMAIC The question arising out of this petition was, whether• Birman, who had been an attorney, residing at Southern, in Warwickshire, was also a money-scrivener, within the meaning of the new Bankrupt Act, and as suck scrivener liable to be made a bankrupt. Several affidavits were filed for the purpose of sustaining the commission. They went to prove that money had been frequently deposited in Birman's hands, in order that it might be invested by him in such manner as to him should appear satisfactory, and the bankrupt himself deposed that be had repeatedly secured procurative fees beyond the usual charges of preparing the necessary deeds and securities. On the part of the petitioner, a creditor of Birman's, it was contended that be had merely engaged in these pecuniary agencies incidentally, and not because he gained a live lihood as a money scrivener. It •was urged that his real business was that of an attorney, and that as suck he could not be made a bankrupt. The petition prayed that an issue might be directed to try whether Birman was a money scrivener, within the intent and meaning of the new Bankrupt Act. It likewise prayed that the bankrupt's certificate might, in the mean time, be stayed. The petition was opposed on the part of the assignees and of the bankrupt. The VICE-CHANCELLOR after entering at considerable length into the law as applicable to attorneys, who also fol lowed the business of scriveners, directed the issue, but re fused to stay the bankrupt's certificate until the result of the trial should be known. CARLISLE ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) THIRD DAY.—WtnivEsnAv, Aug. 16. The parties were, this morning, engaged for two hours in making freemen. The polling, therefore, did not commence before eleven o'clock. At that time each party had a full tally in attendance ; but the Blues having arrived first, were first polled. Mr. Lawson was then the only candidate upon the hust ings, if the place where the poll-clerks sit may be so called. The same arrangements were observed to day as yesterday. In the course of the morning the Blues paiaded several times, in a strong body, before the B us h ; but the blinds were down, and no notice was taken of their cheers. A weaver addressed the mob from the top of the Market Cross—" Never let it be said that the Blues knock under to the Lowther tools. You know that without a blue sky we can neither have taties nor corn; therefore support the blue. Col. Lushington has been flattering and wheedling you, and telling you fine tales, and he has got the manufacturers to give you 6d. a cut more wages; but, as soon as the election is over, he will let them reduce it ad.— (Cheers.)—Therefore, don't be bought and could, but vote for Lawson and independency. Blue for ever, my boys !—that is the colour (displaying his riband at the end of his stick), and we'll beat the Yellow fellows before the day is over."—(Cheers.) The Radical Press has put out an absurd report, under the title of The Compact, which it is alleged the Colonel has concluded with the Lowthers. It is said that he pays them down 4,000/., and they are to bear the rest of theexperrce: 14,0004 would hdve been a more probable sum ; but even that will not settle the bill : perhaps 20,000/. may. Most of the out-voters have to be brought from a distance, and the city expences are enormous. • SERIOUS RIOT. MA LY- PAST TWO. I am sorry to say the town is, at this moment, thrown into great distutbance, the consequences of which it is impossible to foretell. It originated in the Yellows renewing their attack upon the New castle coaches, which arrived, as yesterday, laden whit Blue freemen. The Yellows surrounded the True Briton coach, and seized upon four of the free men, and had got possession of them in spite of the exertions of the police, when, fortunately for the passengers, the Blue party came up with another tally of freemen, and a regular affray commenced. The Yellows were overpowered, and driven into their ren&zvous in Fisher-street (the King's Head), where they are still pelted by the Blues, and the Yellows return the missiles from the windows, with slates from the roof. They have been compelled to draw in the yellow standard. The windows are being demolished very fast, and the Blues appear desperately enraged : they pull up the stones from the pavement, and it is well for the Yellows that the house is not entirely glass, as most of the missiles strike the brick walls. Till this unfortunate scene commenced, the polling went on with great spirit; but it was thought that the Blues were gaining ground on their opponents. TYREE O'CLOCK. There have been some broken heads, to my v own knowledge, and the police are exerting themselves to disperse the Blue mob. T saw one man appre hended, and I believe he was lodged in safe custody. The - superintendent was afterwards pelted with brick-bats : he escaped several only by stooping.-- The poll-booth has not been attacked, though the greater part of the police were drawn off it to quell the riot. Nevertheless; in consequence of this dis turbance, the Mayor' has thought proper to adjourn the poll to four o'clock. My own opinion is, that there will now be no more polling to-day, an d speaking will, of course, be out of the question. The state of the poll is never published here tall the close of the day ; but I understand that Lushington is still a-head—some say 15. I am informed the police have not succeeded in securing any prisoner; but their interference has been evidently beneficial, as the. place is compara tively tranquil. The King's Head is no longer at tacked: but the Yellows do not venture out with their colours. The Blues still parade the street% with their band and flags. There is much noise, but no mischief doing at present. There is not a whole pane of glass left at the King's Head, but there has been no attack on the Bush. Several Blue tallies were in attendance when the disturbance commenced. The adjournment, therefore, is a sore disappointment to that party. _ NALF-PAST YOUR O'CLOCK. Before the period to which the poll was ad journed, the Mayor and the Lushington party left the booth, and it was given out that a fresh adjourn ment had taken place till nine to-morrow morning ; but Mr. Wybergh (Mr. Lawson's brother) and his friends arc still in waiting with a Blue tally, and complain that there is no officer to receive their votes. The band is also there, playing live l y tunes. The town is all tranquil at this mom ent. The following is the state of t he p oll : For Lushington 276 Lawson 261 Majority for Lushing ton_ 1% $5l O'CLOCK, The Blues have retired to their quarters; b ut a man named Duffy, half naked, with his face and body blackened, and in fetters, is haranguing the mob. He tells them that he is not thus disguised to conceal himself from them, for he is well known in Carlisle; but his object is to shoe what the Low there want to make of the freemen of Carlisle. They had locked them out of their ancient Hall, but they could not lock up their Market Cross, from which he addresses them ; that be is independent of both parties; bat that the ring and Lawson were for the people, and to-morrow should see these fet* ters' broken asunder. The people seem all peace ably disposed at present, and regard this as a joke, We 51pil1 iqt whit toluorrow will bring forth,
