SATURDAY, JUNE 24.
The poll ccmmenced this morning, at eleven o'clock, very
quietly. Colonel Verner entered the town at the head of a large,
body of the Richhill tenantry, so numerous, indeed, that every
spectator imagined he would be second on the poll this day.
About half.past twelre, a crowd left the vicinity of Mr.
Brownlow's tally.rooms, and marched, in a very threatening
manner, towards Mr. Verner's Conimiiteestooms in English.
street; when within a few yards of the rooms, they halted on per.
ceiving a powerful muster of the True Blues ; each party
eyed the other with a most deadly scowl, and rushed to
the attack with sticks, stones, hone-whips, &c. &c., when
a scene of the most warlike description was presented—se.'
veral accidents were the consequence—two men with fractured
Iskulls were carried to the hospital. where they are said to be in a
very precarious condition. The Green party gave way, and were
pursued to Mr. Brownlow's tally-rooms, where another severo
conflict took place. which terminated in the Blues taking possession
of Mr. Brownlow's tally.rootns, and driving out every voter they
could meet—some had to escape over walls, from their height
almost unscaleable. Mr. Little, the attorney, it is said, ee-
-1 aired a severe fracture on the knee. A party of the 724 Itegi.
meat, assisted by the pollee, soon succeeded in restoring order.
This was the only striking circumstance that occurred outside of
the Court House this day.
At the conunencetnent of the poll, Col. VERNER addressed the
electors. in a style quite military, assuring them that at present he
was only skirmishing a little, to induce the opposite party to come
out; but on Monday, anti following days, he would bring up his
heavy artillery, and sweep the enemy off the field.
1%1 r. Bo own row also addressed the electors. If (said he) any
of toe Gallant Colonel's friends are present, I have but melancholy
news for them. 1 have obtained a vote for every day in the year
more than their Candidate has brought up ; and I can assure him
and them that it will require all the days of their lives to bring me
down from the proud station I now occupy. I will only require
the stead, aid of my friends for a few days longer, to make " the
enemy" despair of ever occupying this field.
The several Candidates were loudly cheered ; and all remained
quiet at the hour of post (six o'clock.)

This I. a •• Premium goeiety," guarded by a temporary Capital,
or recautionary Fund, to be paid off as soon as an adequate sur-
plus Capital is accumulated from the Prt 'Mums; thus :droning to
the assured all the security, in the first instance. which the mil).
scribed Capital of a Proprietary Company can offer, without per.
mining the Subscriber' to remain a permanent incumbrance on the
Sociel—apProPrialing its Prelim, and endanfiering its stability.
Security and Economy constitute the exce.ienec of a Life Insti-
tution, and those objects are to be best effected by taking a small
excess of Premium beyond the true ri.k, and accumulating it for
the benefit and security of the Assured, to be returnable to them
in the way of bonus. Both the rate of mortality and the rate of in.
ten's t are subject to variations ; and the Premiums charged in
every office ought always to exceed the true value of the risks
by the greatest probable variations of those rate.. Ilei:ce, uniLw
ordinary circumstances, a surplus Fund will always be accumulated
beyond the amount accessary to provide for the claims. In a
Premium Society the danger of an incautious or uneqaal division
of this surplus is effectually guarded against, by rntson that thin
Funds and Officers of the Society are under the absolute control
of the persons assured; whereas, in a Proprietary Company, the
Sliareholdees not only enrich themselves, at the expense of the
!folders, but may put in jeopardy the very sum assured, by
an improvident division of that surplus fund, which has been Le-
cumula.ed out or the Premiums paid by the assured, and which

Pretr.lums for young and middle-aged lives lower than In any
offize In England; payable annually, half-yearly, or quarterly, or
for a limited number of years only.
A temporary precautionary Capital of 200,00 W., which will be
paid off in manner above stated.
Three-fourths of the profits divided amongst the assured, until
the Shareholders are paid off, and thenceforth the entire profits,
by additions to their policies, with interest thereon, in reduction
or the premiums.
The Trustees sign every polity, and give the assured an imme-
diate remedy against the fund itself.
On the back of every policy for the whole term of life, is a scale
of its true value from year to year, at which price the Society con-
tract to purchase it, or to lend two-thirds thereof to the holder,
to enable him to continue the future premiums without incon-
venience.
The assured having the Contract of the Trustees to purchase
policies, may reduce the anneal premiums at pleasure. For in-
stance, by taking ten policies of 1011. each, instead of one of I,ooof.
whenever a bonus of 110/. is added to the gross amount, the as.
kared by selling one policy to the Society will receive its true value,
and reduce his premium one.tenth. without diminishing the I,OOW.
Thus, he may either apply the bonus in augmentation of the sum
instinct, or in reduction of his future premiums.
There are no agents to the Institution, and consequently the
' Commissions which would be allowed to them are properly de-
ducted from the premiums of the assured.

July 21, at 1 o'clock precisely, to consider of the propriety of re.
Nevin( the Senior Auditor of this Society from the disqualification
he labours under, by reason of his being a Director of the Asylum

other eminent Physicians, in preference to Foreign Tea (more par-
ticularly during -the Spring and Summer months), as the most
pleasant and powerful restorative hitherto discovered, in all nervous,
bilious and consumptive disorders, and in every other debility of
the nervous system. This Tea is pleasant to the taste, is an ef-
fectual purifier of the blood, and by. promoting gentle perspiration,
powerfully assuages those excruciating pains derived from the gout
and rheumatism; and is of sovereign efficacy in removirg com-
plaints of the head, invigorating the mind from those self-created
alarms. which toe frequently render the existence of nervous people
intolerable. Drank warm at night it promoter refreshing rest, and
is a restorative cordial to the constitution of such as keep late
!lours, or live too freely.

' rimd appearance of the mob, their hideous yelings, added to the
tinorishing of the bludgeon., presented an appearance truly asps
palling. At half--pact twelve a simultaneous attack was made On
the police, which they contented themselves With merely resist •
ing ; nothing like offensive operations having been rosined to by
them. The foot police were stationed in front of the Court House,
and for a time kept a portion of the mob, who attempted to force
the position, in check. 'I he hone police were scattered through
the mob, in rain striving with the fiats of their swords to diaperce
them. Several of the mounted police were knocked front their
horns, at beaten with savage fury when down. The foot po-
lice were obliged to give way, and took up a position in the church-
yard. The mob, however, did not think it wise to follow them
into this stmng.holti, anti they contented themselves with shouting
and flourishing their sticks. In the centre of the Diamond at this
moment the battle raged with the greatest fury, and thither the
mob who had routed the foot police repaired. The police being
thus relieved from their pretence, again entered the'Diamond ; and
the horse police being again ohliged to ,teve way, owing to the
great accession of strength which their adversaries had received, it
was deemed necessary, in order to rescue them from the imminent
danger which threatened them, to give ostlers to the toot police to
fire. The orders were prrmptly obeyed, when the mob fled wilt
the greatest precipitation, leaving three of their comrades stretched
upon tiLt. ground. A measage hail been despatched on Colonel
Leslie's arrival, to the barrack, where a party of the sth regiment
*ere stationed, ordering them forthwith to repair to the scene of
art on ; and immediately after the police had fired the military ar-
rived, and tin-tied in front of the Court-house, where they cond.
nuell during the remaining part of the Pay. I could not help re.
marking, that in a moment after the disc Large of musketry had
taken place, not a single stick was to he seen ; the crowd, how-
ever, continued during the day to remain in the Diamond, but not
a word escaped from them, nor did they even attempt to raise a sic.
gle cheer. The three officers comManding the police era all
wounded, and I believe every private on duty is similarly cir-
cumstanced. .

About two o'clock, order being In some degree restored, the
Court-house doors were thrown open, and in a few.mioutes cvery
place was occupied. After the preliminary proceedings had been
gone t hrough—
Colonel 3EADDEN rose and addressed the Meeting.
Mr. Lucas next rose, and. in a speech of considerable lettrh.
which our limits preclude us from giving, proposed Mr. Wi'estema.
Colonel CARR seconded the nomination of Mr. Westerns.
Mr. TEllxisox next rose for the purpose of mining Mr. Shirley
in nomination, and commented with great ability and force upon
the objections urged by Mr. Lucas against Mr. Shirley.
Mr. FORBES seconded the proposition of Mr. Tennison, and
considered the extent of Mr. Shirley's property was the best tutu-
thy which the county could have for his discharging the duties of a
Representative with fairness and honour. As a landlord, Mr.
' Shirley was unequalled. Mr. Shirley had been represented as a
stranger, but he (Mr. Forbes) was confident that those who now
' thought him a stranger will, before seven years revolve, uaani-
mouily agree to place him in that chair which be, for the first time
that day, aspitsd to till. (Cheers.)
Colonel Ltstte4then addressed the elertera, and said that he
had for twenty-six years pursued the same line of eoactuta, lad
that he was now too old to change it. (Cheers.)
On the question being put upon Col. Leslie's nomination,
Counsellor CORI.EY addressed the Meeting in favour of Mr.
ll'estenra, and the independence of the county, and contended that
Mr. Westenra was as much at liberty now to oppose the Roman
Catholic claims as he had ever been. _ _

Mr. TEN NISON-1 ask you, Colonel Leslie, do you go free and
unshackled to Parliament,and has any pledge been etact«l front you?
Colonel LEstaL—None, certainly. 1 think a plcdgeunneces-
sary. (Cheers.)
Neither Mr. Wotan nor Mr. Shirley attempted to address the
electors. _ _

The High Sheriff was then sworn to make a fair return. arts Ott
Court was adjourned to Monday, when the polling it to commerce.

humour and cordiality. His Lordship must either be exercising
his spleen on the freeholders for his own individual amusement.,
without any serious intention of standing the contest to the end, or
he has lost all notions of sound policy—or perhaps, to come to a
third alternative, he never had any 4 and has no calm and dispas-
sionate friend to tell him, that front the first day to the last, his
conduct has been violently opposed to the sentiments of the
freeholders of the county. His Lordship had not forgotten the
course pursued by his inflammatory relative, Mr. Lambton, at
Morpeth, and maned determined, it possible, to outshine that
rival of the ladies of Billingsgate. Even on Tuesday, he returned
to the system of personal abuse of :11r. Beaumont, which has di.-
1 tingnished, or rather rendered notorious, the lVhig party in this
contest. Not content with dealing out more than even the antler.
paced measure of vituperation before the polling cotmrteneed, after
the day's poll was declared, he began to tell the freeholders that
1 the most vexatious opposition had been made to his votes—at
the saute time that there was in truth an evident determination to
prevent all that could come to the poll for Mr. Beaumont from
reaching it in time to vote. We know of no vexatious opposition
that his Lordship met with, unless it was the opposition of the free-
holders who refused to vote for him when they had resolved to
vote for other Candidates. We know, however, that Ms Lordship
and his friends did every thing in their power to keep back Mr.
Beaumont's friends, in order that they might, if possible, have
him at the bottom of the poll, and amongst other matters we must
not emit to mention the putting of the bribery oath by the Whir,
to gentlemen as respectable as themselves, for no other object than
that or " vexations opposition." But the most extraordinary part
of his Lordship's conduct was his behaviour on Friday and StIiUT6IS.
It hr. had beet intentionally injuring his own cause—if, which it is
not, dud cause had been the best in the world, he could not have
acted more indecently and ridiculously. We say this, not with any
wish to provoke his Lordship or to add to the dissension he has al-
ready produced and seems anxious to increase;—we say it, hecanse
we wish not to see the respect of time county for the ;muse of Grey
altege" e- ext. ngu's' ed by the haired and contempt of the freehol-
dems o' Northumberland. When the independent Candidate and
the twit 'Furies were conducting thenumelves with the most perdect
polte tees to each other, and when the gee item possible harmony
subsisted amongst them, what cniki the county think when it be-
held the signal of tumult held up daily anti alone by the Whig
Candidate, by the young man who professes to be the greatest
friend to liberality and to every thing honourable and enlightened
And what could they think of the wisdom and prudence and talent
for 2a, homent of him, who, coming Mrward with the fairest pros-
pects, has succeeded in one short week, and especially in the last
two days of it, in enraging the freeholders to that degree that it is
hardly probable they will ever again hear him, or look on him *AA
patience? No—no ! let not his petted and peevish Lordship at-
tempt to whine the freeholders out of their opinions. Much better
would it have been for the county had he remained content with
his election for Winchelsea, where his name, and his distance from
home, might have procured him a respect which he appears so have
lost in his own county.
Look at the contrast between his Lordship and Mr. Beaumont.
Mr. B. comes forward without personality, and manfully states his
principles, and apologizes for past errors—an apology, by the bye.
at which Lord Howl& could not help sneering, though a nobler
example of candour and British reliance on the hearts of Britons
we never Influx: witnessed, and we fear we shall never witness
again. In the course of the week, instead of stunting say of hot
opponents, though his being last on the poll till Saturday woo
enough to cause any man to be a little out of temper, he Adrienne*
the freeholders in a style so truly original, and so full of mingkd
wit, sentiment, and sound philosophy, that he has Winn all limits--
even those of many who had voted for other Candklates, and re-
gretted that they had done so. Indeed, such an universal sense of
gratification follows his addresses, that the country people for many
miles round Aln wick have flocked in ainee they first heard them,
and, p home again delighted with the genuine humour and sound
sense of their favourite.
