NEWC NW:LE-ON-TYNE, SATURDAY NIGHT.
The electiol here is expected to take place in the
first week in December. Since Thursday Mr. Peter
Carstairs and Mr. Peter A. Taylor, after having
pursued a toDrably close canvass, have returned to
London. M. Somerset Beaumont and his sup-
porters are still pursuing an active canvass ; and
they confidently state that his election is safe
against all comers. No doubt of the three liberal
candidates that gentleman at the present moment
is the most certain of the vacant seat. The Conser-
vatives have not shown their usual alacrity in tak-
ing advantage of the division among the Liberals.
A meeting of the conservative country gentry, it
is understood, has been held here to-day.. The
Hon. A. Liddell, Sir Walter James, Mr. Cuthbert,
and some other country gentlemen have been men-
tioned as candidates; but down to this evening
nothing positive as to the line of action likely to be
taken by the Conservatives has transpired. If they
do not bring a candidate out, Mr. Beaumont will
beat either of his opponents by a considerable ma-
jority ; but, even with the Conservative opposed to
him, Mr. Beaumont's friends are confident that he
will be returned.

THE 11.1URDE.R IN THE COUNTY OF

DURHAM.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, SATURDAY.
More particulars have come to light to-day with
regard to the cruel murder of the poor man Baty
on Monday night week. The police have found
the " Morgan rattler" with which Smith knocked
poor Baty down. The murderous instrument was
found in the Knob Ends Wood, between Winlaton
and Barlow, near the place where Armstrong parted
company with Smith the morning after the murder.
Some of the clothes, too, of the murdered man, and
of Smith, have also been found hidden in a field be-
tween Winlaton and Blaydon—Smith's trousers
and shoes, and Baty's coat and waistcoat. The other
portion of Baty's clothes Smith absconded with.
He had them on when he left Armstrong.
No further information of Smith's whereabouts
has been got. The last trace the police got of him
was at Whits•le-Head, near Tantoby, in the county
of Durham, where he slept all night on the Tuesday,
the day'after the murder, at the house of a person
called Evans, who formerly belonged to Winlaton.
Smith worked as a pitman at Whitehaven, he
then came to Four Stones, near Hexham, and worked
there some time. Since he has been in this district
he has worked at several collieries in the Burnop-
field Pontop districts. He has latterly lived at
Biaydon, and worked for Mr. G. 11. Ramsay, at
Shibdon colliery. He is rather a short man, but well
and powerfully built. His face is nearly "blue,"
having been severely burnt by an explosion of
gunpowder in one of the mines in which he was
working some years ago. He is well known in the
district as a daring resolute man, and an ardent
poacher. There is scarcely a wood or a field for
miles round with which he is not acquainted, and
if the police are not very expert in their move-
ments he will surely evade them. Although a pit-
man, he does not stick to that employment only,
as he can work as a sailor, a husbandman, or in any
ordinary description of labour. He began life as a
sweep. It is supposed he has made his way to
Whitehaven, Maryport, or some of the west coast
ports, with the ♦iew of getting off to sea.
The murder is still attracting great interest in
and around Winlaton, and the greatest anxiety is
evinced by all to have Smith caught, and any par-
ticipators he may have had, arrested.
The clothes that have been found must have been
placed in the spot where they have been got quite
recently, as some boys were catching birds there a
few days ago, and no clothes were there then.
