['ritE -rtmEs.]
We recur,' but with caution and -timidity, and with
the hope of exciting, no unnecessary pain any where,
to themeeting whit h took place in consequence cis the
rash words uttered on the hustings at Alnwiek. Tfte
consequence that followed those, words was inevitable ;
neither can we deny the forwardness - and cot rage
evinced by the offending party, to alloW, to the brave
man aggrieved the readiet opportunity of vindicating
bis iesulted honour, Nitlt respeetto Mr. Lamhton,
we must say, that if he. could have witnessed the
anxiety which was universally felt- and displayed for
his safety during-his absence, the - heart that :was' un-
moved by danger would have melted with tendereess.
But he did right not to think_ of those whom be bad
left behind, among• whoth was one dearer than the
Northumberlaed freeholders, and .'who knew bite too
well ;the perilous err ind on which he had set forth.—
It would, perhaps, have but little soothed the tor-
turing hours of uncertainty and dread, to have heard,
during their continuance, that never before did there
exist a cause Tor anxiety, in which so many !par-
ticipated ; yet it must now be gratifying to learn
that it was no private grief that distracted a
daughter of the house of Grey, And that the
fears which rent a female bosom affected thou-
Sands of as manly hearts as ever England bred and
this is the more remarkable, as Mr. Lambton is trot a
man disposed to in favour by soft Speedies and Syco-
phancy and mean compliances. The universal inte-
rest in his fate, therefore, could only have spiting from
the unbought estimate of his moral worth.---The ab-
sence of Mr. Beaumont front the hustings was sup-
plied by the ready aid of the Itev. Mr. Bird; the
gentleman by whom he was educated. The eloquence,
therefore, which might have been adulterated in
passing through the organic, iatuctnre of the
sartsonum, was thus obtained pule at the fountain-
head of the tutor. Mr. Bird reprobates, as he ought,
the practice of- duelling ; but .he seeks, we observe,
the (tone of his friend's indiscretion, not in the irrita-
tion of the moment, but in long-conceived bitterness
and spleen---in . wrath, on :which More than ". one
sun," perhaps more than twenty suns, " had been
suffered to go doWn"---in angry feelings, excited, we
know not at what distance of time, by anonymous ar-
ticles in a provincial paper,;. Nor this all that we
learn from the tutor's sl eech. tie says that: " he
hiapes Mr. Beaomont will be in his place on the bust.
ings on Monday to partake of the triumph of his
cause 1" What- cause ? we ask- Not his own, 14
at the time when these words were spoken, Mr. Beau-
mont had no more chance of nieces i than Lord
Howick. The cause of the coalition must therefore
be meant'; that coalition which Mr. Beaumont Airi-
owned is here called his cause," and it has triumphed
as the tutor predicted. But—few and insincere will
be the felicitations on its success.

" It is said that arrangements are making at the
Post-office to convey letters twice a-day to. all places
within 20 miles of the Royal Exchange .1 a regulation
which will embrace Windsor, Staines,' Leatherhead,
Epsom, Hertford, q•St. Alban's, Reigme, ~ Romford
Gravecend, Sic."—Keening Paper,.
We learn Oho that a plan is to be propeseti to (lei-
vertunnt, by it gentleman mi whose iiitelligence great
reliance is placed by them, or infinitely more utility,
we should conceive, than the preceding. We are
anxious, however, it should originate and be carried
into elocution in the 'prep& quarter. It is to this
effect—merely to pass the letters through London
which lie at the General Post-office over the Sunday
cif every week. We are no advocates for the violation
of the Sabbath, nor would we even mention the pro-
ject if it tended in any Material degree to so injurious
h result. We woidd not On any account' have letters
deliVered or received,' on. that sacred day but the
merely affording those which are in the house a tramit
is a totally different thing. I.t. might be etude(' rri
vately and with no great trouble; for it must be recol-
lected that the vehicles for the' conveyance of the let-
ters arrive and depart on Sunday to and from London,
as well as on'other days, So th:o the poor horses would
suffer nothing more.. A few additional cler4s, Or a
small additional salary ,to the old ones in succession,
would occajon
,the dispatch of the whole, business
long before the tune of divine service ; and the advan-
tage to the public would exceed all credibility.—Thid.
