Mr. C. P. THOMSON'S visit to his new con-
stituents at 111 incliester, which took place on Monday,
was not attended with the meat flattering demonstrations.
He attended with a large party of his friends at the Ex-
change ; but the friends of the disappointed candidates
mustered strongly also, and a scene of confusion ensued
which baffles all description. Alr. THOMSON made a
speech of thanks, hut it was inaudible, from the noise that
prevailed. He retired, however, from the scene, after re-
peated efforts at explanation, without having suffered any
other violence than tbat to which his ears were exposed by
all sorts of noise and confusion.

ALN WICK, DEC. 24.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Nowhere has there been a more striking
proof of the necessity of the ballot than in the elec-
tion which has just taken place for the southern di-
vision of Northumberland. " The old fashioned
Tory," as Mr. Bell stated himself, at the election of
1826, has for a while crushed the independence of
this division by a majority of 91 over Mr. Ord, the
Liberal candidate; Mr. Beaumont (a Liberal) and
he are, therefore, the Members returned to the Re-
form Parliament. This temporary, for of long
duration it cannot, be success has been occasioned
by the most disgraceful means. The Duke of North-
umberland has caused his impoverished tenantry by
threats to vote for the Conservative, Sir John tre-
velyan. The Corporation of Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
and all the Tory Aristocracy, have followed his ex-
ample. But even this interference with the freedom
of election would have been insufficient to have
drowned the voice of the independent electors, had
not the servants of the Administration itself set at
defiance the orders of their superiors. The com-
missioners of the Greenwich Hospital have most
extensive estates in this division, formerly the pro-
perty of the Earl of Derwentwater, who suffered in
1715. The receivers and agents here are Robert
William Brandling, Esq. (uncle of the successful
Tory candidate), and Mr. Waites; these gentlemen
received instructions from the commissioners (of
whom Lords Grey and Auckland are two), to the
effect that they, as individuals, were perfectly at li-
berty to do what they pleased as regarded the elec-
tion, but on no account to canvass or interfere with
the tenantry of the estates; how Mr. Brandling
obeyed these directions the result of the poll sue-
eiently testifies, as it is notorious that he not only
canvassed, but threatened, and even drove the

tenantry up to the polling booths, and thus turned
the scale of the election in favour of his nephew,
Matthew Bell, Esq., who, during the whole of his
Parliamentary career never once voted in favour of
economy, supported the Duke of Wellington in
every measure, with the exception of Catholic
Emancipation, and the Repeal of the Beer Tax,
arid who was rejected with indignation by the
county at the last election.
Your obedient servant,
A FRIEND TO BALLOT.
