The following is the only part of the proceedings on the hust-
ings at Alriwick, on the 24th of June, 1826, which has any
interest

Mr. BraustONT.—Gentlemen, in the name of tilt White In-
dependent, I beg to address a few observations to you. I stand
toiday in a novel situation, and I taidess, whether from its no-
velty or the renewed ebrifidem:e it gives me, I feel my situation
pas tictilarly' agreeable. It is one of those *eying* recorded by the
wisdom of 'agei, as confirmed by experience,. and thetelote it rtittst
be true, that it is the first step, that coats all the pains.-4Chetrit
and .laughter.)'--NoW I hare gained one step._( Applause).—All
of you recollect that Mr. Liddell said he was very proud of one
coalition, that of honest tnen and bonny lasses (applause and
laughter)—Which, by the Ile, in, its way, is no bad ccielifirm
either.—(Loud laughter and applause).—But a coalition, Gentle-
m4n, formed by the periple themselves--aet In Motion by their af-
Actions, and having for itlest a coalition,

and I will do so and so,"—is most honourable. There cannottbe
any herrn ill a thalition like this. But as for a coalition arising
front myself, that is quite another thing.—l disclaim it.—(Great
applause).—l have no doubt them words will be turned and
twisted, transmogrified and metamorphosed a thousand different
whys; but I don't care about that.--(Appla uie). —My situation

When I am:successful It than& look back to the past--I shall
shall not say any thing about why I was not sooner at the head of
the poll. I shall not say any thing of professional gentlemen who

have thrown some hindrance in the way. -It is the nature of law
yens so to do. if 1 were to be asked what is a lawyer ? I would
say he is a person who throws impediments in every body's way
but bis own, and who asks a thousand questions about nothing.

Air. Linntl.l., in the course of his speech, said, that his Noble
Friend on his left had been pleased to insinuate in his speech of
yesterday, in rather a querulous tone, and had repeated the oft-re:
plated story of a coalition against hint (Lord Howick.)

Lord Howtce then came forward, and addressed the assemblage
to: the following effect :—Gentlemen, Mr. Liddell has told you
that I,yesterday insinuated a charge against him. It is true that
I did not then make the charge directly, and I will tell you the
reasonit was because I believed it impossible that a gentle-
man, who owed his sole chance of success to the public sym,
Why excited in his favour by supposed ill-usage, could form
so monstrous. a coalition, for the purpose of defeating another
candidate. But my incredulity is removed, and I will now
directly prefer this charge againet Mi. Liddell. (Mr. Liddell and his
friends here exclaimed, "No, no.")—But it is not only from Mr.
',Well's own .mouth..—it is not merely from his own language
that I am convinced of this coalition—such agreements as Mr.
Beaumont has described to you may have taken place between in-
dividuals, without any impropriety : some of my own supporters,
I believe, have split in this manner with the friends of all the other
candidates. But when you see these bargains made universally
ore way, it is evident the direction must proceed from head-
quarters.—(Cheers, and cries of " No, no," from Mr. Liddell and
his friends.)---This being the case, I sin ready to let any one
compare the poll-book with the canvass-books, and let Mr. Liddell
produce his also if he please«, and it will appear that no less then

it would have been more manly to have charged me directly with

A Gentleman of the name of TINLEY (brother of Mr. Tinley,
the •attorney, at Shields) here addressed Lord Howick from a place
set apart for the reporters, as folleria On behalf of the free-
holders of North Shields, I beg leave to state that I was inform-
ed, that in mil instances' 'Lord Howiek took a how for a pro-

Lord Ilowtoc—" Then neither have 1."

ALNWICK, MONDAY.

(FROM A CORILAIWOMMNT.)

Howick is completely beaten. His few remaining voters either
cannot be found, or cannot be brought up. 'they expect him to
withdraw, and in that case they would immediately voteTer Beau-
mont, who is now &Madly 'the popularcandidate. We shall, no
doubt, this evening have a great deal of most violent speechi-
fying on the hustings. Liddell and Beaumont will be ac-
cused of a coalition—ton accusation which conies with an
admirable grace from their opponents, who have thrown
their interests together hurl the first. I should tell, you,
for the information of your readers, that Liddell is liberal
Tory, Bell, an ultra-tory, Beaumont, an independent, Howick, a
Whig. The monstrous coalition between. the Whig and ultra-
tory party, roused the indignation of the people to a pitch which
nothing could withstand. " Beaumont and Liddell," or " Lid-
dell and Beaumont for ever, became the rallying cry in all parts
of the county, but particularly in Shields and Newcastle, where
full scope is given to • the expression, of public opinion ; and the
friends olthe two candidates, as a natural consequence, were thus
driven to unite. The coalition between Liddell and Beaumont, if
coalition it may be called, did not originate with themselves, nor
With their agents, but wee forced upon them by their friends.—
Bell is still very strong, but Howick's phimpers being exhausted,
he must infallibly lose his election.. Beaumont, by his manly
and straigWotward conduct has • done himself infinite
honour. He bas shown too, both temper and tart. After
to-day, not more than 500 or 600 votes can remain to be
polled. It is probable, therefore, that the election will be over by
Thursday or Friday. .

We have seen a private letter from Alexandria,
dated the 12th of May, Which states that Sir Hudson Lowe had
arrived in that city on board a frigate from Smyrna, passed on to
Cairo, and departed from thence, after a short stay, for India.
Op the sth of May, the French ship LeaOng Freres, Captain
Ytier, arrived at Alexandria from Marseilles, bringing pashengere
five French field-officers, and Several others of inferior rank, all
destined for the artillery and engineer departments of. the Pasha's
army ; and thirty Frenchmen besides, who are; to form part of a
military band attached to the head-quarters of General Boyer.—
The Arab troops-eficaniped near Cairo are at present 20;000 in
number, and 4000 are training for the artillery'exercise under
French officers. Every account from theie iegione tends More

THE POLITICAL PRIMER.

This is a book of very considerable talent, and well
worth the attention of readers, both for the information
which it contains, and style in which it is ivtitten.
The title=—'he Political Printer--,sufficiently explains
the-object of the work; it consists of wseries of direc-
tions, sometimes grave and sometimes gay, by which,
men with estates of ten thousand a-year (and espe-
cially trien born to such incumbrances) may become
valuable members of the state :rand, with some inch-
,
nation perhapS to bitterness, inked up with his wit,
in those parts of the book which touch upon the vices
and follies of mankind, -in its more serious pages the
author puts forth a sufficient array of bold and vigorous
sentitrients, with practical instructions forcibly exem-
plified arid pleasantly conveyed. .
The first portion of the work, and that which is the
Most-lively, treats of the manner in which a gentle-
man should proceed to get into Parliament. And
here, both the variOus talents and mancetivres neces-
sary to ensure success in stioh an object, and the nu-
merous- petty frauds and meannesses to which a eau-
didate (accordivig to the view of the " Primer")•
must stoop in order id secure it, are worked an wit
such very vivid colours, that" the' artist seems to be a
little afraid of his own picture after he has completed
it. Accdidingly, the course of electioneering policy
prescribed, is guarded by a careful declaration that the
writer only paints the thing as it iss,-not describes that
Which he could wish it to be. And the old excuse
(by Way of collateral justification) is repeated ahont
Machiavel—that in fact the system of Italian fraud
which he analyze& had existed long before it was laid
down by him ; and that he did no more than exhibit
the tools by
,which the most successful machinists of
the day performed their work. The most receivable
justification, however—and that which the author:also ,
mainly .relies ois—seerns to be this, that as society
exists, honourable men who should refuse to descend
to election-tricks would probably be beaten by dis-
honest men who would,have no such scruple. No
set of men, as a body (says the writer), are to be dealt
with, for the purposes of an election, without manage-
InenL
"The city of Westminster is completely open--as much so as
could he desired by any reasonable advocate of Parliamentary re-
form. In the year 1819, a gallant officer, of very high preten-
sions to the ' support of independent men, appeared upon the
}Muting's. He had evinced a character capable of meeting dangers
and difficultlei in their worst form ;
and had claims to popularity
possessed, by very few even of his own admired 'profession; yet
this gallant Gentleman was spitten upon, and finally driven from
the hustings, like one of the basest of mankind.
." Another candidate, of very different pretensions, also appear-
ed at this election,—it is only necessary to name Mr. Hunt. But
Mr. Hunt was insulted, arid nearly killed, by that very mob, to
whom he had devoted every faculty he possesses during a series of
years, and for Whorri he has forfeited his estimation in society, and
hie personal respectability."
The combatant who' persists only to employ, the
small sword against the tomahawk, will be admired,
and destroyed. His adversary dances a hornpipe upon
the ground from which ho has been defeated. Fame
blows her trumpet over his grave, but it is too late fora,
him to hear the blast.
The o'peiting chapter of the Political Primer, dis-
cussing the business of elections, begins with the draw-
ing up
.of the advertisement, which is phi right; be 7
cause, in all matters of importance, there is. nothing
litcci lisseuviipg at. Ova ilO'krintitngi. for. which zenaoli the
elitiseof-shi, last s;reat French'Biographical .Dictionary
has commenced his Work by an account, five pars
long, of the domestic arrangements of Adam. Ihe
qualities desirable in an 'advertisement aresummed 'up
pretty nearly thus :—it. should be as short as possible,
as general as possible, and be written, as nearly as
ppssible, in good English.
We then come to the affair' of the canvass ; for the
":perfect management" of which, it is at once declared,
that " more faculties are wanting than any single indi-
vidual has ever been known to possess." Perhaps the
same assertion might be made with equal justice, as to
the ‘! perfect" performance of a great many other sub-
lunary duties. Lord Bolingbroke, however, is, pro-
nounced to have approached - more nearly to a perfect
canvasser than any artist upon record : and—by atten-
tion to the rules that follow—it seems that, generally
speaking, a man-who is always ready to commit the
seven sins for five farthings may hope to do sorriething.
" The art of canvassing is to be divided into two branches;—
canvassing for one's self, and canvassing for a friend :—the means
of success are esentially different. 0 • •
" A candidate is expected to wait upon each of his expected
constituents, and to solicit their votes in person.

rmareayhrlthaenldn'niat He should pay
his visit precisely at the time when his friends wish it to be paid,
and on this point he must acquire information from his agent.—
It will never do to knock at the door when tradesmen are at
work. in the hall; .or when the carpet has been unnailed, or the
lady looks poorly after a few days' illness. Families do not like
to be seen by their best company, except in the beet trim ; and
all the affibility in the world will not profit the visitor, if he excite
feelings of vexation or disappointment," .
In converSation, particular 'attention is to be paid
to the ladies ; but this is a business altogether in which
'the canvasser marches upon eggs ; and can only hope
to succeed through the medium of his spies, who are
to give him previous information.
" Let him beware of talking to a talker, or forcing one to talk
who dislikes to lead the conversation. A few short sentences,
suggesting subjects, may be aptly inserted in the interstices of the
one's volubilityy. and the other. permitted to remain silent, by a
conversation which only requires to'be assented to.
,c it is impossible to be successful in a canvas% :without a close
attention to the circumstances of the individual case, and much
previous information. In one family you may give offence, by
paying attention to a daughter just returned from au elopement;
in another you may make an enemy of smile silent but influential
person, who might appear a cipher, though she 'really commanded
the house. A member of long experience lost the friendship of
one of his old supporters, by unluckily praising the child of a
who happened to be very ' to the children of
half-brother, superior
the house."

Indiscrunate acquiescence" is stated to be danger-
ous, and it has its perils ; but, nevertheless, it is a
glorious weapon, even when not very dexterously em-
ployed. The suggestion on the contrary, for manage-
ment in married families, should be received (we think)
If the hus-
band caution : it is ill, as Faistrif says, under anycir-
cumstances, ". to wake a wolf."

and wife, with respect to all Objects of taste ; and it delights each to
have the other's fancies opposed by a stranger of consideration.

" I was sitting on ope of the benches, on the terrace of the

College at 6reenwich, observing different gay parties parading Ns
did down ; amongst the rest I remarked an old and young lady
very gaily dressed, and laughing, with the greatest apparent de-
light, at every thing said to them by a young military man of about
18 years old : the girl was prettyish, with the air of a half-fledged
sparrow, looking about for twigs to hop upon : her mother was
the personification of our idea of Mrs. Primrose, when setting off
her deughter before the squire. After some turns, the three came
and sat down on the end of the same bench with me : all the rest

were full.
Here they stayed rattle silent for two or three minutes, and
a quizzical little old rusty-strafed pig-tailed person, who might
pass for a retired clothesman, pawnbroker, or shaved Jew-pedler,
approached the bench before the ladies perceived him in the crowd.
My God, Mamma!' said the girl, in an under-tone, here is
Mr. Bone!' and before a reply, he came up, and spoke familiarly
to the two ladies. ' How do; Martha?' Well, Misses! (Mis-
tress) you've slipped off! How is Bob? very poorly, eh ? Ali,
the poor fellow won't do, won't do, indeed, 'tis gone too far with
him.' He never stopped, though the ladies were in torture.
Well, Martha, I have got a husband in my eye for yoti—a wise.
sober, thriving young fellow; one that will rise in the world, an'
make you rich, girl ; a wise steady young fellow, that every
one respects ; and I mentioned you to him.' Here the girl began
to simper, though evidently trembling at every word ; the young

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We should have been happy to comply with the request of some
Gentlemen of Nottingham, to insert in our columns a letter
which appeared in The Globe, had a duplicate of that letter
been sent to us; but the matter is now too old for insertion.
