10 THE FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF

DURHAM.
tICANCEPSTII CASTLF, JAI:. 3, 1828.

Fe 44 Myself called upon, by the numerous
k•ucitsiries addressed to me, to state publicly, and with-
out further delay, that I bare the authority of my relation,
Alt RUSSELL, who is new in Italy, to solicit for him
the distinguished honour of REPRESENTING this
COUNTY in PARLIAMENT, when a Vacancy shall
°cent. by As elevation of Mr. Lambton to the Peerage—an
cent which, it now appears certain, will take place very
ehertly. In a letter 'rem Mr. Russell,—contemplating
the Possileility of this occurrence during his absence—after
61tPreasing to me his desire to succeed to so honourable a
Position, and authorising me to act on his behalf, he con-
elude, by saying—" Every pledge which you may give of
the determination I should really feel to promote, by all
tile means in my power, the best interests of the County '
of Durham, I should be anxious to redeem." I assure
You, Gentlemes, of my entire conviction, founded upon all
Russell's communisations with rue upon the subject,
and I feel no hesitation in pledging myself, that if the
'choice of the County should fall upon him, he would itte_
tifY so flattering a mark of its confidence by the most
2reeinus efforts to promote its varied and important Tote-
yeet% Agricultural and Commercial, with which his own
are so extensively connected. With respect to Mr. Rus-
*ere political conduct, I feel anxious that yon should par-
46tiPate in the perfect assurance I entertain that he will
zever be found to sacrifice, far objeets of party or of private
ingest, any of those principles which form the basis of
64r Constitutional Liberties. I have every reason to hope
and expect that, before the Election can take place, Mr.
lia"ell will arrive in England and confirm the assurances
®f ".hich I am now the medium; but in the mean time I
`l'uet You will permit me to take the measures which may
aNkCir necessary for the accomplishment of this, the
i• "{swot object of hbrambition.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
CHARLES TENNYSON.

HAMEL, the OBEAH MAN. Li 2 VOLS..
post Svo. price 169. in boards.
" This is an entertaining, we may say, instructive.
❑ovel ; the scene is new, and the manners are new. We
are glad that the anthor, who last year pub:i•heel an a►nus-
ing Tont. in Jamaica, has selected that island for his scene.
He is a man of observation and talent, and has moreover a
turn for humour."—Westminster Review,
" No writer has described so well as the author of Hamel,
the manners and the climate of the country of the Antil-
les."—London Magazine.
" This is a work of considerable power. The concep-
tions are vigoroes ; the incidents are striking ; the manners
new."—Scotsman.

•
" The deseriptione of scenery are alive and striking ; tLe
portraits of character are tree and vigorous ; the sketches
of manners lively and instructive. Many of the situations
are well conceived, and produce a tkep interest in the reader,
while the effect of the whole is heightened by the novelty
of the subject. The author is on entirely new ground,
and, let us add, ground which abounds in objects of great
and powerful interest."--Atlas.

lU-KIAO-LI; or the TWO FAIR COUSINS. In 2
vols. 12ino. 14s; in boards.

" Independently of being a curious specimen of Chinese
novel-writing, this work has more than ordinary intrinsic
merit. It is a highly interesting story, well told ; it is
full of pure sentiment--of genuine, if not powerful passion
—of amusing adventures--of lively, laughable, and varied
dialogues."—London Weekly Review.
" It is with great pleasure that we see the literature of
our country enriched by an English version of this novel.
We do not knew q the -class of English readers. to whom s
complete an acquaintance with Chinese manners, as is
afforded in this work, will not be highly auceptable.
Monthly Review.

" This is a very curious and a very interesting specimen
of Chinese Literature. We are persuaded that more real
knowledge, both of the manners and literature of the Chinese,
mny be acquired from such sources, than from the reports
of travellers, which are necessarily confined and super-
ficial."—Literary Chronicle.
TRUTH; a Novel. By the Author of NOTHING.
In 3 vole. royal 12mo, 24e in boards.

" To all who are interested in the grand subject of re-
ligious education, in the nature of the human mind, and in
the process of the formation of opinions, this work will be a
sonrce of deep interest, and the topic of lasting considera-
tion. Like the author of Tremaine, the writer has con-
siderable power of drawing character, and represents scenes
of interest and humour with a very striking pen. Accurate
and lively pictures of manners, conversation of spirit and
life, delineations of the finer shades of character ;—there is
enough of all this in these three volumes to make them ac-
ceptable to the common reader."—Atlas.

ELIZABETH EVANSHAW ; the Sequel of " Truth."
In 3 vols. royal I t mo., price 245. in boards.
" " This is a work of great talent ; and, coming from a
shrewd and observant mind, has in a very high degree the
quality of rousing and sharpening the intellect of its readers."
—Scotsman.

" The excellence of this work consists in the author's
deep insight into the labyrinths of the heart and mind ; in
his knowledge of society; in his keen observations of con-
duct; and in his accurate representations of familiar and
domestic scenes. His characters are well drawn; and he
is often extremely successful in the pathetic."—Morning
Chronicle.

BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS.
A GENERAL BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIOXAR Y.
to be completed in Two Volumes and an Appendix. The
second Volume now publishing in Monthly Parts. Vol.
I. Svc). price lss. in boards, 900 pages.
" This is a work of very uncommon merit indeed. In-
stead of a mere compilation, as such publications generally
arc, we have here a production of original, and often very
masterly talent, combining with tht: value and convenience
of a book of reference in regard to facts, much of the more
intense interest and attraction which belong to a vehicle of
discussion and speculation, by minds with whom no one,
however highly cultivated, need be ashamed to hold com-
munion. The whole is conceived in a spirit of moderation
and good sense, exactly such as we like to see sustaining
the equanimity of historic narrative. We do not know
any work intitled to compete with that before us, as a use-
ful and intelligent compendium of biography."—Edinburgh
Star.

all the most interesting Lives, by the subjects themselves,

for the man of letters and the general reader."---Globe.

Sketch of the War of Independence. In 12mo. price Gs.
in boards.

" This original Life of Franklin, which is afforded ' as
a medium between the diffuse and expensive Memoirs of
Franklin, and the brief though delightful sketch written by
himself, seems to be judiciously executed ; and for the in-
dustrious classes, that is, for the great mass of mankind,
the Life of Franklin is the most valuable piece of biography
ever penned."—Scotsman.
" The book before us is written throughout with great
elegance and spirit. The biographer is just such a one as
Franklin deserves to possess."—Sun.

in recommending to our readers."—Oriental Herald.

" M. Mignet's History of the French Revolution is a
chef-d'oeuvre, superior to every thing that has appeared for
the last Afty years."—London Magazine.
" This work of Mignet leaves every other en the same
subject far behind. Every thing in it bears the marks of
a master mind. It is characterised by profound thought
and clear illustration; and by _impartiality and caadour
in a very singular degree."—Edinburgh Theological Ma-
gazine.
" This work is calculated to be roost extensively popu-
lar. It tells an interesting story ; it tells it in an inte-
resting manner ; it is not too long to be readable. M.
Mignet has mastered the grand difforulty in narration: he
is interesting without being voluminous ; concise, without

ground with the hammer-like end .of the broom. Subse-

women were taken by gor.DEN, constable, in bed at the

tubs to the carts which waited some distance up the road.
To these were added twenty others called batsmen, from
being armed with long clubs or bats, which in their hands
are terrific weapons, who each received 20s. per night to
defend the company or men employed in removing the tubs,
and to corer their retreat. When these arrived on the
beach there were but four of the blockade on that station.,

them just as the men arrived, and immediately fired in
among them, upon which he was struck on the head by a.
batsman so as to cause his instant death. The firing of
the pistol speedily brought reinforcements from the other

SIMULTANEOUS MEETINGS.--Yesterday
the Roman Catholic Bishop of this diocese published from
the Altar of his Cathedral, that a Meeting of his Pa-
rishioners would take place on the 13th inst., after the
last Mass, in order to petition Parliament for the repeal of
those Laws which still aggrieve the Catholic Body. A si-
milar intimation was given yesterday in all the Parishes of
this city and diocese and also throughout the entire
Cloyne Diocese. Thus on Sunday next, above seven
hundred thousand Catholics will be assembled in this
county alone.— Cork Mercantile Chronicle.
