ELECTIONEERING IN THE NORTH.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
NORTH UMBERLAND.—Two stanch Reformers, Thomas
Wentworth Beaumont, Esq., one of the present Members
for the County, and Wm. Ord, E.q., M.P. for Morpeth,
are candidates for the southern division of Northumber-
land. Sir Charles illonck, Barr., a quondam Whig, but
now a bit-and-bit Reformer, and Mathew Bell, Esq., an
acknowledged Tory, are candidates for the same division
of the county. For the northern division the freeholders
are determined to bring in two tried friends of the people,
Lord Howick, the son of the Premier, and Charles Wm.
BigGe, Esq., a true, consistent, and uncompromising
Whig. Tories are talked of to oppose them, but they will
probably follow the example of Alderman Thompson at
Kendal, and retreat when they have:had a day's canvassing.

DURIIAM.-In the County of Durham there are three
declared independent candidates, namely, Hed worth Lamb-
ton, &q., brother of Lord Durham, John Bowes, Esq.,
and R. D. Shaft°. A fourth is expected, in the person of
Sir Hedworth Williamson. There are two Reformers in
the field for the City of Durham, namely, Mr. Harland
and Mr. Chaytor,—and one Tory, the Hon. A. Trevor.
SUNDERLAN D.—Two independent candidates have offer-
ed themselves,—Sir Wm. Chaytor and Capt. Barrington.
NEWCASTI.E.—There will probably be no alteration
here, as the present Members, Sir M. W. Ridley and Mr.
Hodgson, have done their duty to the people.

Lord LONSDALE has put forward Mr.
MATTHIAS Arrwoon, the Boroughbridge champion, as
his nominee for Whitchaven. Bah !—Carlisle Journal.

REPRESENTATION OF KENDAL.—TiIe in-
dependence of Kendal has been secured, and the Lowther
party fairly driven from the field. Thanks to the manly
and patriotic exertions of a few of the independent inha-
bitants of the town, who with a zeal worthy the cause
they were embarked in, came forward in the hour of peril,
and relieved the town from the troubles of a political con-
flict, which, though it would have proved the firmness of
purpose, the unsullied integrity, and the undaunted inde-
pendence of the great majority of the people of Kendal,
might, nevertheless, have opened the door to feuds and
animosities, which time cou!d never have healed again.
The gentlemen comprising Mr. Boom-11,3 es Committee
canvassed the town on Monday last, on behalf of Mr.
Ilaouctlam, and the result of their labours was, that more
than three fourths of the voters gave their promise in
favour of Mr. BROUGHAM. The other party, finding this
to be the case (they al,o have canvassed the town) re-
tired from the field on the evening of the same day.--
Kendal Chronicle.

REPRESENTATION OF KENDAL—The elec-
tion for Kendal is literally over. The contest has been
brisk as it is early ; and the election is at once prompt
and decisive. JAMES BROUGHAM, Esq., and Alderman
THostrsox issued each an address, declaring themselves
candidates. On Monday morning an active canvass was
set on foot by the opposite partisans, and on the evening
of the same day a letter was received by the chairman of
BROUGHAM'S Committee, announcing that the Alderman
had tet fired front the contest ! It was found that at least
two-thirds of the electors were in favour of Mr. BROUG-
HAM, and it was therefore wisely determined to spare the
worthy Alderman all further anxiety and expense. The
following anecdote, although "ordained out of the mouth
of a babe," conveys pretty accurately the sentiments which
the electors of Kendal hold of their " parish-born bro-
ther," the outcast of London. The Thompsonite canvas-
sers called at a Louse in Highgate, where there was only a
little girl, about twelve years of age, when the following
dialogue came off:—Canvassers—Where's your father?
Girl—He's poorly : what did ye want with him ? Can-
vassers—We want him to vote for Alderman THomrsox
Girl—Nay, then, l's sure he waint ; for he's blue! Can-
vassers—Well, we want him to vote for a blue : old
Tnostrsox is a blue ! Girl—Nay, nay, but they say
when he's drunk, he's a yellow ! I---Carlisle Journal.
CARLISLE.—TRIUMPH OF REFORM.—
The public rejoicings for the passing of the English Reform
Bill took place in Carlisle on Tuesday last. It consisted
of a grand dinner to all the poor of the district, and a
magnificent procession of the Trades and Political Unions
of the neighbourhood. An immense concourse assembled,
and which would have passed off happily and quietly, had
not an accident, which befel some individuals who were
standing beneath the hustings erected for the musicians,
and which gave way and killed one boy, and seriously in-
jured several others, marred the enjoyment of the day.--
In the evening the committee, and a large body of reform-
ers, dined together at the Coffee-house.

A large meeting of the Pottery Political
Union was held on Monday Itst, in Hanley Market-place,
at which it was resolved, that the Political Unions be re-
quested not to dissolve themselves until the great objects
proposed by the Reform Bill be fully accomplished.
We have authority to state that the paragraph
which has appeared in some of the London Journals, stat-
ing that the Marquess of LONDONDERRY has let his cx.
tensive collieries for three years, 19 wholly and entirely
incorrect, nothing of the sort having taken place.

THE ATTEMPT TO NIURBER A MAGI-
, • STRATE NEAR SOUTH SHIELDS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Newcastle-upon- Tyne, June 16.
I am happy to inform you that Nicholas Fairless, Esq.,
the Maeistrate, of South Shields, upon whom a most
diabolical and murderous attack was made by two pitmen
on Monday last, in open daylight, is still living, an l some
hopes are yet entertained of his recovery. Jobling, the
man who Wit! apprehended as one of the ruffians, was
Yesterday identified by Mr. Fairless, and, after a long exa-
mination was, I am informed, committed to Durham
gaol, for trial at the next assizes. If a Special Commis-
sion is not immediately issued to try the pitmen already in
custody for various atrocities, it is hoped that the period
fir holding the Assizes will be hastened as much as pos-
sible. Armstrong, the other person suspected of attack-
ing Mr. Fairless, has not yet been taken, nor has any re-
ward been offered for his apprehension. Nothing, it
would seem, but strong measures can preserve those who
have done their duty in discountenancing the lawless pro-
ceedings of the colliers from further outrages.
