NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION.

NKWCASTLE-UPON•TYNE, FEIL 9.—This day,
between twelve and one o'clock, the first string
of carriages, in the interest of the lion. HENRY
THOMAS LIDDELL, s't out from Dodsworth's
(the Queen's Ilead Inn), with part of the Law
Gentleman and attendants retained for the
County Election at Ainwick, which commences
the day after to-morrow. From respect to the
solemnities of the Sabbath, the line baud of mu-
sic that has been prepared for the interesting oc-
casion was not permitted to attend ; but great
numbers of people were collected in the street,
to witness the somewhat novel spectacle of a
dashing set-out for a contested Election. Such
a scene has not occurred in Northumberland for
upwards of half a century. The last time was in
1774, when the poll opened on the 13th and ter-
minated on the 20th October. On that occasion

there were four Candidates, and the number of
Freeholders who voted for each was as follows :
For Lord Algernon Percy, P 235 ; Sir William
Middleton, 1000; Sir John Hussey Delevel,
1083 ; and for William Fenwick, Esq., 762.-
1807, on the dismission of " the Talents"
Ministry, another contest was expected, but the
present Earl Grey, then Viscount Ilowick, who
had long represented the County, declined a poll
on the hustings, on the 10th of May, and Earl
Percy (the present Duke of Northumberland),
end Thomas Richard Beaumont, Esq. (father or
the present Member), were returned without
further opposition.—But to return :—Consider-
ing that, since Mr. Bell's declaration of coming
forward, the most active canvassing has been
carried on by both parties, for eight or ten days,
we must say, we never recollect so total as ab-
senCeof • the brutal?* fulmen as on the present oc-
casion. It is true, there have. been some syrup. ,'
toms of pude faith in quarters where good
breeding and education ought to have been gua.,
ra►►ters for other and more honourable conduct.,
But so it Is ; :114(1
" Such are the things that throw reproach on life,
" And make one sick of seeing more."
To these honourable Gentlemen how applicable
the well-know► lines of the French Poet—
" Pauvres (lens, je lea plains, ear on a pour les foul
" Plus de Peti4 clue do Uourrouc."
Allowing for drawbacks, there is nothing, how-
ever, that can engender fear for the honourable
and independent cause of the llEnt, of RAvEta-
WORTH—

" Twice is he arni'd whose riuse is just;"
and the Freeholders, we trust, will consider this,
end manfully come forward and 'perform their

promise to the'generous individual who, at no in•
considerable sacrifice, at once expreSsed a fixed
determination to prevent Northumberland's ite.
