THE SUNDERLAND IMlo2lo3e—The contest for
Sunderland has watered upon a passedand bitter atage,
and bas provoked a great amount of mated recrimina-
tion. Mr. Feseriek, the liniment Lord of the Admiraltri
ro
is opposed by Mr. Candlish, as alderman of the bong
not epos any politioal ground, but solely epos • person'
question. Both ate liberal', and at the pascal election
were supported by the liberal pony. Mr. Penick, wino
has sat for the borough since 186 was sacessaful, but
Alderman Candlish was defeated. Though Mr. Peoria,
received oonsiderable supped from Mr. Candlish's friends
then, they sew oppose- him, berms he did not openly
coalesce with them, and aid them to return their candidate.
Mr. Feowick's reply is that Ald. Candlish prevented him
from going by the course the latter gootlemau pursued for
righting swaths before a reseal steeliest took place, in
seeking to omit Mr. Lied's', sad cassias disruphos be-
tween the two sections of the liberal party—the whip
sad latices ; sod had sash coalition taken place, it must
have endangered Mr. Fenwick's own seat, he, therefore,.
preserved • strict neutrality. Failing to dad any politico&
prinriples on which Mr. Fermi* should be °mimed, a
great onto., has been raised against that gestlemsals

Inspection of Nunneries, sad foe the ant time is the his-
tory of 4bo borough hors efts malls bean oororod with "
Poor,' placards and handbills, containing attacks on the
Roman catholic faith. The Raman eitholia aod the
element is Sanderised is a large cue, sad a bitter feeling
is aroused. The votes Mr. Fiewiskitsfeeds, osetends he was
justified in giving them in fainter to the Roman catholic,
and points out that no objectless were taken at the
general election to these votes, widish ban been glean
some years ago, while be remind the sappart of
the party who now oppose hie as them grounds. Both
coadidans have held meetings nightly for some time, bat
those of Mr. Fen wick have been invaded by the friends ef
the opposhig candidate, and some tumultuous scenes have
followed. So severe have been the labours of Mr. Pedal&
in lamenting and speaking, that yesterday sonottese-
meats were Issued that he woald be suable to address any
more meetings for the present. Thewva's ea
