The following is all OW IC( Iti a Icier from Carlisle,
dated, May 31, 1820:
" I transmit you the conclusion of the Poll for this
City, which; dining its continuance, has excited great
interest. Thelcomest was fairly between corruption and
incorroption. Alr. Janie. the man of the petiole, is a tho-
rough Reformist; whilst his opponent's political prin-
ciples may easily be divined, from his beim: attempted
to be thrust upon our ancient city by the Ease Lonsdale, •
who is well known to be one of the greatest borough-
mongers in the kingdom. Mr. James was chaired this
afternoon amidst the enthusiastic cheers of many thou-
sandi of spectators. The wilidows of the houses were
filled witn elegantly dressed females, who displayed bine
favours, and heightened not a little the brilliant scene.
In the evening a very large party of gentlemen dined
together to commemorate the occasion; and. to crown
the wnole, I ain alad to inform you that it is intended
to have a Grand Udine Dinner, for the purpose of enter-
ing into a subscription to indemnify Mr. James for his
necessary expenses. Against the next teneral election. •
1 beivve it is determined to propose two independent
Mewls for it is obvious that the majority of voters
who have returned Mr. James, could. witetus-much fa- •
cility, oust Sir Janws Grahaitn. the Lowther nominee."

SOCIETY FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF
ARTS, MANUFACTURES. ANZI. COMMERCE.
The distribution of the rewards of tins S 'vie!), took
place on Tuesday, for the first time, at site Aryls Rooms,
anti perhaps never since the institution was formed
was the ceremony-graced with so touch rank, fashion,
and beauty.
Soon Mier twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex,Presideat. entered the moin,and though
tile company seemed absorbed in. the contemplation of,
the different perfounances of the candidates in polite
arts, which were appended to the walls, and those of
mechanics, which covered the table, a universal expres-
sion of joy beamed in the countenance of all. His Royal
Highness, whose urbanity of disposition cannot be ton
nightly estimated, most gracefully. we may say, benig-
nantly. bowed to the pany as he passed to his
Ciiair, and the business of the day now commenced.
Air. Aikiu,the Secretary, here read a most classically
and highly interesting exurdmin on the rise and progress
of tutu institution, very particularly relerring to its
cu 44444 enceinent.

The preienunts were then presented.
His Ro)al Hiptiess, on several occasions observed
the exertions of the candidates, and was particularly
complimentary to those (and we observed several) who
mid (welt nefore hitu on former occasions in the same
ciiaracters.

To Mr. J. Perkins, who was honoured by three of
the Society's medals, for inventions of the hrst conse-
quence, he was more than usually happy. The candi-
date alluded to is a most ingenious American, and his
Rural Highness observed, that as President of the
s.sciety, he highly paricipaied in the national liberality
which had evinced itself on the occasion; that the
rewards here bestowed, proved, that men of science were
nappy to recognize and encourage the saute qualification,
be it from 1V Iljt country it aught.
To Mr. Will. Hartly,another ingettiousinechanic, pre•
stoats to handing him site premium, he observed, he felt.,
the invest gratification in meeting hill' there, and he
knew him to be one of this most clever and hottest
workmen in the world.
