the usual question being pia by the Sheriff, the smile was carried
in the allirmative, amidst the cheers of the fivetriiidcrs present ; and
Dugdale Stratford llugdale' Esq. and FOIL:: Lars ley, Esq. were
dcciated by the Shoal as duly elected.

" And whereas it is expedient, in these dark and ignorant times.
to put down all religions and sects whatever which are not established
by law, and to enforce pains, penalties, and disabilities against
them, lest they should get the upper hand and persecute us.

in which all the followers of the said Joanna Soutlicote, as well as
all Jumpevs, will be persecuted, and properly kept down, by the
same penalties as are enforced against the Catholics of the present
time.

" Now, therefore, be it known to all freeholders, that Lord John

admitted to the same rights as the rest of their fellow-subjects.
And, therefore, if he is returned again to Parliament, the county

are at this moment in league with the Emperor of Chios to sink us
all to the bottom of the sra.

The following is a republication of certain maxims put forth by
Lord John Russell, with queries to each of them by his opponents.
" No Popery—but emancipate the Catholics, that they may not
join with foreign Papists in time of war."
" query—ls not this admitting that the Catholics are ripe for
rebellion if their claims are not granted ?"
" Chtitch for ever, but emancipate the Catholics that they may not
help to pull it down."

m not put an end to its perpetuity.
Query—Is not this admitting they are disposed to put as end to
its perpetuity ?
There is also another placard signed " Betty Bigot," and ad.
dressed " To the Old Women of Huntingdon." who are ironically
called upon to come forward and vote against Lord Russell if they
wished to prevent the Papists from coming down npou them in a
body and roasting ur.' eating them upon the 51arket-hill.

[FROM OUR OWN REPONTEN.I

APPLEBY, JUNE Is.

proaching contest. The hustings are partially erected, and all of

he can get no accommodation, and when the contest has actually
commenced, will run a fair chance of being starred. Upon my first
arrival, I asked the waiter at the inn where I stopped, if it would
be difficult to procure private apartments ?
" Apartments, Sir !" he echoed, " Blue or Yellow ?"—" What
do you mean ?"
" Are you, Sir, Blue or Yellow ?"—" I am neither."
" ith, Sir, I am very sorry for that, for if you hed been Blue,
know some rooms that would exactly suit yon."—" I ant Blua,
by all me-ans, my good fellow ; just tell me where they are."
According to his directions I proceeded to the brow of a hill.
about a quarter of a mile from the town, and soon discovered the
cottage to which I was recommended, anti enquired of an elderly
lady if she could spare me a furnished apartment ?
" Are you Blue or Yellow. Sir ?"
I was prepared for the qttestion, and of course answered that I
was Blue. _ . _

" It that be the case. Sir, I shall feel happy to accommodate
yon, shhough I risk offending the Committee, if they should hap-
pen to want my beds•"
After seeing the room, which was small, and not very richly fur.
niched, I ventured to ask the terms.
" Why, Sir, you sce our accommodation, and can, perhaps, say
what you arc disposed to give. Beds will be very scarce during the
election."
I toll her that I was disposed to give as little as possible, though
I presumed that she would require inure titan usual for her apart-
ments during the election.
'' That, of course, Sir: some people ask a guinea a night, but we
would endeavour to make you as comfortable as possible, and if you
will pay us half-a•guinea a night for your bed, and hotel prices fo
your meals, 1 have no doubt but matters may be arranged to our
mutual satisfaction ! !"
Whatever might have been my previous colour, I verily be-
lieve that 1 lookial at that moment as blue as indigo. I found,
however, that the Blues were resolved to live by their friends, and
therefore determined to change my colours, and make my next ad-
venture :is a Yellow. I did so; but, alas! the Lowthers had en-
