LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1827. We, as well as our Coternporaries, might, for some days past, have stated the probable Minis terial arrangements : but we have preferred the imputation of being behind-hand with such in formation, than incur the risk of stating that which might not prove to be correct, as we knew that the arrangements were not, in point of fact, finally d e termined on, and that the speculations on the subject, being made on probabilities, might, by possibility, still prove erroneous. Acting on this feeling,.we forbore to mention yesterday the reports which were in circulation, and which have been alluded to by other papers, namely, that the Duke of PORTLAND would Succeed the Earl of HARROWBY, as President of the Council ; that Mr. HUSKISSON Would be Colonial Secretary, and take the lead in the House of Commons ; that Mr. CHARLES GRANT would succeed him as Treasurer of the Navy and President of the Board of Trade ; and that Mr. HERRIES Would be Chancellor of the Exchequer. Many other arrangements, equally probable, we might now mention ; but knoWing that none of them will be positively made until after the remains of our la , mented Minister have been deposited in the grave, we shall content ourselves with observing, that the spirit which directed the Councils of his MAJESTY during the Premiership of Mr. CAN NING, will still guide them, both in the selec tion of persons and the adoption of measures. — When the arrangements are made we shall not be the last to know them, or to promulgate them. We understand that Count CAPO DISTRIA is hourly expected in this country, charged as it is supposed, with some important communica tion from the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, rela tive to its wishes and intentions regarding Greece Dutch Papers to the 11th inst. reached town last night, but their contents are uninteresting. The States of South Holland have passed a re solution for giving notice to the local Magis trates, that it is his MAJESTY'S wish that all possible endeavours shall be used to induce the inhabitants of the country to make more use of the advantages offered by Insurance Companies against Fire ; and stating his MAJESTY'S opinion that it would be of essential advantage if one or more companies were formed to insure the standing crops. AMSTERDA hi, AUG. 10.--Exchange on London, 11 971 ; Two months, 11 95, 11 925. The Foreign Exchanges, which, for several of the last post days, have declined, again gave Way last night ; the causes are traced in the City to the recent importation of corn, and the remittances on account of the Danish Loan, with, at the same time, a very limited number of bills to he negociated ; but we think that it can hardly be doubted that the increase of paper cir culation which has recently taken place through the country, has had some influence in produc ing this effect. Whatever be the cause, how ever, the subject is deserving the closest atten tion, for if the Exchanges should fall a little lower, our present superabundance of gold will speedily disappear. We received last night Washington and Phi ladelphia Papers to the 19th of July inclusive. They are still full of angry discussions relative to the next election of a President, and contain nothing of importance. The Boston Palladium publishes a letter from a person belonging to an American merchant vessel, dated at Lintin, on the 20th of March last, giving an account of a skirmish between some British and American boats' crews, and some Chinese Mandarin's boats, on the Ist of the month, in which two Manda rins were killed and some men wounded. We subjoin the letter in question. Extract of a letter from an officer of an Ame rican merchant vessel, dated at Lintin, March 20, 1827:--- On the Ist instant, there was a battle bet Ween five boats of the American and English lying in this port, and two Chinese Mandarin boats, and one of their men-of-war's launches, occasioned by a pass boat coming down with orders for the ship Citizen, of New York, to proceed up to Canton. The Mandarins took the • pass boat, and were towing her towards the Chinese vessels of war, when the Americans and English manned their boats and went in pursuit. In about half an hour the foremost boat cams up with them, muskets were fired and stones thrown from the Mandarin boats ; but our other• boats coming up, they began an attack, and succeeded in retaking the pass boat anti orders, and proceeded to the Citizen. I heard on the 2d, that two Mandarins were killed, and two Chinese wounded. There are three or four Chinese vessels of war lying here now, and there are said to be thirty more corning down from town, distant 60 miles. We now lie with all cur guns double-shotted, ready for battle. The vessels that are here, I think more than a match for them. It will probably put a stop to business for some time at Wampoa, where the vessels lie that are bound to Canton. There were two men slightly wounded with stones, being the only ones injured on our side in this affair. • The French Papers which ought to have arrived last night, had not reached us before the hour of going to press. His Majesty's packet brig Rinaldo has wv rived with a North American mail. She sailed from Bermuda on the Bth July, and from Hali fax on the 29th.

The Col lector has received orders from the Commissioner of the Customs to exact the duty on all foreign flour, provisions, &c. that are not imported by, or consigned to, a resident merchant, as they consider no other person eligible to enter provisions for the use of the fisheries. About 250 barrels have been imported from warehouses by a non-resident, and the duty was demanded. His Excellency Sir James Kempt sailed on Thursday in the Chebucto, for Yarmouth. He will visit the principal western harbours previous to his return. AMERICAN CONSUL.—Mr. Morfit, the Gentleman who arrived from Nova Scotia some time ago, from the States, and bore his credentials as Consul from the Authorities at Washington, has returned to Boston in the George Henry. His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, we understand, refused to acknowledge him there in his official character.. His Lordship, the Bishop of Nora Scotia had returned from Petty Harbour and Feiryland, and was waiting at St. John's the arrival of his Majesty's ship Alligator, Captain Canning, from Quebee, in which his Lordship intended to take passage to Halifax. Col. Nicholls of the Royal Engineers, arrived here on Tuesday morning, in the Government brig Chebucto, in four days from Halifax. We understand he is come for the purpose of surveying the forte, &c. PRINCE EDWARD ' S ISLAND, JULY 10.—The accounts , from Newfoundland, of the 27th June, express much alarm at the prevalence of typhus fever and the measles., which was making frightful havoc. A private letter says, they are dying by dozens daily, the weather being excessively hot. A public meeting was to be held on the'27th for the purpose of relieving the necessities of the poor and afford ing them medical assistance. Another letter describes the mortality es truly appalling. The contagion had been brought to the country by several vessel's with Irish passengers on board, of which it was engendered by the filthy and crowded state of their holds. The instructions for regulating the number of passengers to be taken by each ship being now removed, they seem to have been crowded on board. literally we think as they could stow them, men, women, and children prorniscously. Not a day passeswithout witnessing the death of numbers of these wretched beings, of diseases contracted on the passage. One morning 30 were laying dea4 at once. From the general tenour of these papers, there appears to he great activity in the con struotion of roads, and' othzr improvements in these valuable colonies, and a general desire en the Government officers to give every aid and assistance. The Annapolis iron works are in full work, and the quality of the iron produeed at Mooae Bier is declared to be the toughest and best by an experienced workman, 010 has made trial of its pro perties, ever worked. We stated a week ago, that four only of the Russian line-of-battle ships, with some of the frigates now at Spithead, were to proseed on to the Mediterranean ; and this has been since fully con firmed by the orders which have been given to the Commander-in-Chief of the squadron. We mentioned at the same time that the remainder of the ships would return to Cronstadt. This will, we understand, probably be the case ; but at the same time it is understood that final orders on the subject will not be given until the arrival of the next advices from Constantinople, which will, in all probability, contain the final determi nation of the Porte, and enable a correct esti mate to be formed of the exact force which it may be necessary to employ in the Levant. It is generally supposed that this reduction of the Russian naval force, intended to be employed in the Mediterranean, has been effected by the remonstrances of our Government. We have frequently shewn the necessity of our maintain ing a fleet in the Mediterranean equal to that of any other nation, and France would probably con sider it necessary to her interests to do the same. If, therefore, the whole of the Russian squadrOn, now at Spithead, were to proceed to - the Medi terranean, it would lead to the assembling of a fleet there, infinitely greater than could be neces sary for any operations connected with its avowed object, and would entail upon us a very serious expence. We rejoice, therefore, that the Russian Government hare abandoned their first intentions, or deferred carrying them into full effect until some necessity more strong than any which now exists, should arise for their fulfilment. If circumstances should hereafter occur to induce the Russian Government to send on the remainder of the squadron to the Mediterranean, we shall not be backward in dispatching a further squadron of ships of the line to the same destination. Prince Edward Island papers of the 24th of July have been received from St. John's. The following is an extract : The Royal Gazette contains his Excellency the Lieut.- Governor's Proclamation, proroguing the General Assembly of the Province until the second Tuesday in October. The Fredrickton Gazette states that Sir Howard Douglas had received advises from Colonel Cockburn, and that in con sequence, warrants of Survey had been issued to the Sur veyor- General. They command the laying out of town ships, between the head of the Sateudiac and the Riche bucto Rivers, in a direct line for Chatham Mirimachi. Roads are to be opened through them. This tract of country has been selected by Colonel Cockburn as the spot upon which the new scheme of emigration is to be attempted. Shediac, owing to the depth of water in its harbour, has been fixed upon as the first central point of disembarkation. Sir Howard has just re turned from a visit to the Grand Lake, which is connected with, by a navigable canal, the River St. John, and is said to lie in one of the finest sections of the whole province of New Brunswick. His Excellency has established a number of schools, and afforded in his Majesty's name pecuniary aid for the erection of churches in some of the parishes at which he touched during his tour. His Majesty's packet brig Swallow has ar rived with a Jamaica Mail. She sailed from Jamaica on the 30th May, from Vera Cruz on the 24th June, from the Havannah on the 14th July, and from Bermuda on.tlie 26th July. Vera Cruz Papers of the 23d June, have been received at the North and South Ameriean Cof fee-house, from which we extract the following : The Papers from Mexico inform us, that the sentence of death had at length been put in execution on the Priest Arenas ; the delay since his conviction had given cause to suppose it was the intention of Government to save this man; no disturbance took place on this occasion, and 16 days atter every thing was perfectly quiet. His Majesty's ship Britornart was at Vera Cruz taking in specie and cochineal. Captain CLIFFORD, C.B. is appointed to H.M.S. Undaunted, of 46 guns, fitting out at Chatham. It is understood that the Undaunted is to convey to India his Excellency' Lord Wm. 13 EN T I , lc K., the Governor-General. Letters from Rio de Janeiro of the Ist June lave been received, at that time nothing was known fur- ther on the subject of the peace between the Brazilian Go vernment and that of Buenos Ayres ; they still state that peace was fully expected to be the result of the mission of Mr. Garcia, who had returned to the River Plate, with such terms as it was expected would he accepted by the Buenos Ayrean Government ; but it does not appear that any Treaty has actually been signed or finally concluded upon. The Exchange at Rio was 37d. per milrea ; the premium on silver 20 to 25 per cent., but was expected still lower. NEW YORK, JULY 19.—A letter from Sumatra, received at Salam, states, that a war has been raging for six months between the Rajahs of Quallabattoo, Sooso, and Analaboo, and the Rajah of Troumond. A ship of 14 guns was blockading the port of Quallabattoo, preventipg all vessels from trading. A number of Eng lish vessels had stopped, but were prevented from trading. There was a considerable quantity of pepper at Qualla battoo, and the inhabitants were desirous to have the Delphos trade. A report had been in circulation at Neff York, where it hail caused considerable sensation, that symptoms of the yellow fever had appeared in that city : we are however happy to state, that the report in question had been ascertained to be totally unfounded. The American Papers complain bitterly, that the vessels coming from Es gland are inundating New York and the other Cities in the Union, with paupers. The captains of two vessels had been brought before the magis trates on this charge. It appeared on examination that one of the vessels, from Liverpool, had broug ht over a l o t of English poor, their parish having paid the cost of their passage. The captain disavowed any knowledge of the cir cumstance, the passages being taken by a broker. The pe nalties for such conduct are heavy, and they would in fu ture be strictly enforced. A cordon of some kind is much wanted, the editor observes, or New York will become the general depot of pauperism. - - - QUEBEC, JULY 10.—His Majesty's ship Alligator, Captain Wm. Pitt Canning, sailed for Halifax with a fair wind from the west; this day his Excellency the Governor-in-Chief, with the Countess of Dalhousie and suite, left the city on their return to Sorel, on board the Water'oo steamer, a guard of honour paraded at the Castle of St. Louis, and a salute was bred from the Citadel as the boats passed Cape Diamond. His Lordship having inspected the regiments in garrison,.has been pleased to ex press. laic approbation of their discipline and appearance in a General Order, dated July 7, 1827, signed by the Acting Adjutant-General, C. Forster. These papeis an nounce the arrival of several hundred barrels of beef and pork at the port of Quebec from Boston, which were not allowed to land. Two vessels had ar rived from thence. The other articles they brought were staves, in considerable quantities, which is lite rally carrying coals to Newcastle. It is rather a curious circumstance, that the severe gale and cold, on the 23d and 24th of June, was felt along the course of the River St. Lawrence, as far as the head of Lake Erie, on the same day at Washington and New England; it was also felt on the same day at the former place, there was irost sufficient to injure the grapes and tobacco. The elec tion in Montreal, fOr Members to form the new Provincial Parliament, was likely to be severely contested. Sir Francis Burdett left town for Derbyshire two days after the death of Mr. Canning, deeply affected by the sudden and unexpected event. The worthy Baronet had fixed to leave England the morning of Mr. Canning's death, to join Lady Burdett at Bordeaux. Sir Francis has postponed his departure from England for the present. - - We are happy to learn that Mr. Huskisson's health has considerably improved since he left England. Liverpool Paper. PREPARATIONS FOR MR. CANNING'S FUNEUAL.—The shop-doors and windows of Mr. Jarvis, in Long-acre, were in a state of siege the entire of last evening, with crowds of persons anxious to see the coffin in which are to be deposited the remains of the illustrious deceased. It was with difficulty the servants of the nobility and gentry, who came with letters to solicit for their writers a part in the funeral procession, could approach the door to deliver them. The coffin was completed about seven o'clock, and remained in Mr. Jarvis's ship until after nightfall, when it was removed to Downing-street, and the shell containing the remains of Mr. Canning deposited in it. , 'T he number of applications for tickets to attend the fsperal into the Abbey aloody acce4 600.

The intel ligence received this morning from Mexico, by the mail, is favourable; tranquillity existed in every quarter of the United States, and at length the priest Arenas, in conformity with the sentence which had been passed on him for treason to the State, had been executed, and he was shot on the 4th of June; no disturbance or 'any attempt in his favour appears to have been made, and the example which had been set to intrigues of this description was expected to have a wholesome effect in deter ring others from similar acts, independent of which it has shewn the power and firmness of the Govern ment. Shares, with the exception of Brazilian Mines, which have improved to 11 12 pm., continue in the same state of apathy, and at former discounts. The accounts received this morning relative to the Real del Monte Mines are, however, stated to be of a very favourable natdre. Three per Cent.

Stu—Among those who hare spoken of the eminent Statesman we have just lost, I have observed some, who, not being actuated by envy or factious motives, and being naturally moderate and well-disposed, have done justice to his distinguished qualities, while at the same time they hare expreesed themselves as not quite decided as to the judicious ness of his plans. Of - these, indeed - , we may be di ff erently qualified to judge, according to the different extent of our judgment and capacities ; but those I have mentioned ap peared at least to me to do justice both to eminent merit and to the honest suggestions of their own minds. I fear, however, that there are others who, being conscious that they do not themselves stand high in the opinion of the world, are disposed to revenge themselves upon it, by in veighing against those who do; and these natural enemies, as they will he to real merit or greatness of mind, may, I believe, be reckoned among those whom you justly call " the murderers of Mr. Canning." Their malignant pas sions will be their own punishment, as virtue is its own reward. I am, Sir, yours, &a. Aug. 11, 1887. OBSERVATOR. WINDSOR, AUGUST 14.—Yesterday the KING, accompanied by the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, left the Royal Lodge in his pony phaeton, followed by the &ther visiters and attendants in their phaetons and an open carriage, and drove by Sandpit-gate to Vir ginia Water, where his MAJESTY and the company em barked on board the new frigate, and enjoyed an aquatic excursion for upwards of two hours, when the Royal party disembarked and entered their carriages, and took some delightful drives in the environs of the Lake, and returned to the Royal Lodge at half-past six o'cleck.— In addition to the company remaining at the Royal Lodge, Lord and Lady MARYROROUOII, and Mr. and Mrs. Fax- MANTLE, arrived by invitation, and had the honour of din ing and passing the evening with hie MAJESTY. The King's private band were again in attendance, and played during the evening.—This day the Duke of DEVONSHIRE took leave of is MAJESTY, and left the Royal Lodge for his residence in town. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE, after dining with his 11fAESTY on Sunday, at the Royal Lodge, in company with the Queen of WURTEMBERG and the Princess AUGUSTA, slept at the Royal Lodge, and re.. tnrned the following morning to Bushy-park. The Duke of CLARENCE cane to town yes terday morning. His Royal Highness was engaged for several hours at the Admiralty, transacting official busi ness, and also gave audiences to a number of flag-officers. The Royal Duke returned to Bushy in the afternoon. Viscount GODERICH, after having a long audience of the KING on Monday, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor-park, returned to town. Mr. liss.aixs had an interview with the Noble Viscount on Monday. The Marquis of LaNsnowtra and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL transacted business with his Lordship yesterday, at his re sidence in Downing-street. Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, ac companied by Monsieur Sultaxon, his Secretary, to gether with Monsieur 11.0111, the French Charge d'Affaires, had 4 long conference with Viscount DUDLEY yesterday. Mr. WILMOT HORTON is returned' from Ireland. FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—The Press has enumerated the late Premier's contributions, when at Eton, to the Microcosm, a periodical written by the students of that College. An unsuccessful attempt was made by the youths of another public school to establish a similar pub lication, which presented itself to the public with a ptint in the title-page, representing Justice, with boys in the Eton costume in the one scale, and their rivals in the other; the former kicking the beam. When this print was shown to George Canning, the witty youth imme diately wrote under it :--,- What mean ye, by this print sa rare, Ye wits—of Eton jealous? But that we soar sublime in air, And ye are heavy fellows. Some of the recent failures at the Stock Ex change having been traced to the refusal of individuals out of the house who were really able to do so, to fulfil their engagements, the attention of the Committee has been di rected to the means, either of compelling them to do so, or of subjecting them to something like a public exposure; but the regulations of the house, which confine the func tions of the Committee of the Stock Exchange to the trans actions of its members solely, and the prospect of frequent prosecutions for libel, have formed hitherto an insuperable obstacle. Some arrangement, however, is likely to be made, by which these difficulties will be obviated ; and the members who have the misfortune to become defaulters, and who owe their ruin to the desertion of their principals, will be able to inflict something like an appropriate punish ment ...Tim, CARLISLE ELECTION. (FROM A CORRI9YONDENT.) FIRST DAY...-MOND AY, Auo. IS. This being the day appointed by proclamation for electing a Member to serve in Parliament in the room of Sir Philip Musgrave, Bert., deceased, both parties began to muster their forces at their respec tive quarters as early as eight in the morning, up to which time nothing of importance had occurred since ray last, but the appearance of a third address from Mr. Lawson, for the purpose of correcting an error which had been circulated to his prejudice respect ing his opinions on the Corn Laws. He declares himself " convinced of the justice and necessity of their undergoing some amendment," and says, " I highly approve of the Bill introduced , into Parlia ment for that purpose by the present enlightened Administration." Both parties had declared the results of their can vass to be highly flattering; but the freemen re siding in Newcastle met last week, and determined to support Mr. Lawson. The 90th Light Infantry, stationed in the Castle, marched out of town this morning, at seven o'clock. About eight o'clock Mr. Lawson was drawn into the city by his party, preceded by a band of music and flying colours. After drawing him three times round the Cross, they conveyed him, amidst loud cheers, to the Coffee-house, the head-quarters of his party. The words " Lawson and Indepen dence" were inscribed on his standard ; but the flags of Sir James Graham and of the former Blue Mem ber (Mr. James) were also carried in the procession. This day Col. Lushington displayed another yellow flag, with the inscription " Lushington and the True Independence." His party had the start of the Blues, and advanced in procession to the Hall, where they arrived about a quarter before nine. Precisely at nine o'clock the Blue procession ar rived, and posted their banners on the opposite side of the market-place to that which was occupied by the Yellows. The heads of both parties entered the Hall, Without seeming to observe a small temporary stage, which the Mayor had erected on the steps. It was about three feet by four in d;mensions, and the people called it the New Drop. It resembled very much such an engine in appearance ; but it was not half the size of the scaffold for ordinary executions. Hereon the Mayor posted himself when he arrived, and, after the parties had been waiting for him within for at least half an hour, he sent a message that he was waiting outside to receive the nomina tion. This message was communicated to the meet ing by Mr. Lawson, and received with strong marks of disapprobation from all quarters of the Hall. Mr. J. Brougham, Dr. Harrington, and several other freemen, remonstrated against this new arrangeme n t, for which it was obvious to every body that inade quate preparations had been made ; but the Mayor would not stir from his plank, and thus the meeting was thrown into disorder and tumult, though every thing commenced in the morning under the fairest auspices of good humour and decorum. The oppo nents of the Corporation, who really seem careless how much they give occasion to their enemies, were evidently delighted with the present opportunity of complaint. After two hours had been wasted in unave.Wing murmurs, and in attempts which were at last only partially successful, to clear the sall, Dr. Harrington was with much difficulty brought to the foot of the scaffold, where he said—" Mr. Mayor, I nominate and propose Wilfrid Lawson, Esq., of Brayton, as a proper person to represent this city in Parliament." I question if the Mayor himself heard this nomi nation. The citizens were unfortunately disap pointed of Mr. Brougham's presence upon the occa sion; but Mr. James Brougham was very assiduous in assisting in the arrangements of the Blues. Mr. DoniNsoN here seconded the nomination of Mr. Lawson. Mr. LAWSON then rose, and was received with very obstreperous marks of applause. Gentlemen, in accepting your invitation to allow my name to be b t ri l;, re i d a put in nomination for the honour of representing you in as t f l ; , ha o l r l not be reluctantly, u c c o t s a i ll Parliament, e f n o t ;w l ar h d op to e o th h a as t the service of my country.—(Applause.) —ln me, Gentlemen, haste would have been presumption; and I shall treat with the utmost scorn the imputa tion of reluctance, from whatever quarter it may come. lam surrounded by gentlemen who know me better, and they will testify that I never, from the beginning of their conferences with me, had any other reluctance in consenting to serve you, than was evinced in my wish that a more able and ta lented individual might present himself among you. It is true, Gentlemen, I come not here from any motive of ambition, but with the sincere convictibn that my presence was required, to assist you in the exercise of your constitutional rights. I should be sorry if my not having Canvassed you individually should be construed into any appearance of disre spect towards you ; for, Gentlemen, believe me it proceeded from my respect for that constitutional right which you are now called upon to assert—the right of choosing a Representative, without indi vidual dictation, and free of all personal or family in fluence, that might tend to fetter your freedom of election.—(Loud cheers.)—Vast local advantages have been promised you from the placing of my op ponent in the vacant seat of your representation ; but I consider it to be the duty of the person you return to have respect to the general interests of the country, in the promotion of which will bnbest secured your own particular advantage.—(Loud cheers.)—lt will, moreover, be the duty of your Representative to act upon all occasions so as to . assert your rights, redress your grievances, and to controul the expenditure of the public money. Whether the gentleman who conceals his sentiments on these and all similar topics, or I, who unre servedly declare mine, be the most likely to gain your favour, is a matter which you must decide ; but, Gentlemen, I may be permitted to say, that my opponent may have more ability, but he cannot be more anxious than I am to serv e y ou ; t h at if elected, I shall feel it ray duty to attend to your ma nufacturing interest, nut as opposed to agr i cu l ture, but as essential to i ts prosperity; that I am, and ever shell be, the zealous advocate of a RJform in Parliament—(Cheers)—and that I consider the time to have arrived when the admission of our Ro man Catholic fellow-subjects to the full enjoyment of the Constitution would be an act not of national, generosity, but of national justice.—(This declars.- tion was received with general arid enthusiastic ap probation.)—On the subject of the Corn Laws,. have great cause to agree w i t h my opponent, for 1 think the rejected Bill would be beneficial to the a gricultural community, to which I belong; but on this as on every other question, I never will be in fluenced by any selfish motives.---(Cheers.)—The Noble Lord who has had the great kindness to pro vide a candidate for you, has said that he is knohn in the. North by his electioneering experience; 1 trust that experience will not be extended •in this city in the manner which his Lordship anticipated. —(Cheers.)— And, Gentlemen, if the result should not be pleasing to that Noble Lord, the rights of you, the independent and high-spirited free men, will have gained another triumph. But if a majority of you think proper to elect my oppo nent, 1 can only say that I should not envy him the obligation which he will have incurred; but Ishould retire into private life, with the full conviction of having performed my duty in now answering the call of my friends.--(Cheering for several minutes.) I understand that Col. Lushington was then pro posed with equal distinctness by Alderman Sir J. Gilpin, and that the motion was seconded by Mr. Richard Lowrie. COL LUSHINGTON then addressed the people. He said he had taken his post, as he promised them he would do, and he doubted not that the support which he had been promised would enable him to maintain it with success.—[The at, tempts to applaud the Colonel were here, and in several other passages, borne down by hoot ing and hissing from the opposite party; but the Colcnel, I must acknowledge, was heard with- more patience, if not wit% more attention, than is usually the lot of unpopular candidates.]-.-He proceeded t 9 tion as bet The M lies of 10 Messrs. said the i Offered, u ties.
