EAST CUMBERLAND ELECTION

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Carlisle, July 20, 1840.
wrote you on the day of M ijor Aglionby's
death, and it is with pleasure I have to acquaint you
that the Hon. Charles Howard was this day elected
without opposition.
Wannop, the fugleman for the Tories, and Arthur,
the Chartist (but who, by the bye, has only become so
since the Board of Guardians here would not appoint
him to the situation of relieving officer)—these Siamese-
twins took a leaf out of Scorpion Stanley's book, and
tried their hand at the work of obstruction. By their
instructions the Chartists refused a hearing to the
friends of Liberal principles, and the election terminated
in the midst of confusion and tumult. I must not omit
to tell you that the Hon. Member was escorted into
the town this morning by about 500 of the grey-coated
Yeomanry on horseback—by these men whom the
renegade Sir James once prided himself on representing.
The Member will have an opportunity of addressing
the freeholders after dinner, which takes place at three
o'clock. lam yours,
