NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. JAN. itto 1840.

A Paper published in this neighbourhood, and
which was lately emitted for the first time under
the avowed patronage of the redoubtable Com-
moner of the North, who makes St.. Stephen'a
ring with his torrent direndi on all ultra occasions,
has so unblushingly trumpeted forth the high at.
tributes of certain Requisitionists for Par Haman.
tary Reform in this town, designating them fore
Tooth as " NINETT OP THU MOST RESPIICTABLitp

OPULENT, AND ENLIGHTENED IIIDIVIDUALII,"--""
that, really capable as I am of digesting crudities,
and overlooking occasional rhodomoatade, the
foregoing involves so very huge an hyperbole,
that it would be to *id in the deception not to
make an honest attempt to undeceive the public
mind. The truth of the matter is,--there are
certainly 89 names appended to the Reform Be"
quisition in Newcastle; but as the party have WO
the temerity to shoot so far beyond the mark, it
shall be my duty to give you a correct analysis of
its component parts. imprimis, then, there are
about twenty individuals who come under tbo
description of respectable Merchants or Traders;
a full half would be included in the term Trades-
men ; and the remainder, with the exception of
one Barrister, one Banker, and one M. D., and
three or tour Attornies, come under the eppro•
priats denomination of Shopkeepers, or small
traders ; and part of these even are drawn frous
the adjoining Borough of Gateshead, which
situate in the County Palatine of Durham !

Those acquainted with the North are perfect!,
aware we have many Whigs about us, whose.
names would have readily appeared in the Regal"
sition under review, had the measure been such
as they altogether sanctioned. That they arc
absentees or non-participants speaks a volume.
In one word, there is no doubt that the Gres,
Man, to whom allusion has previously beta made►
is the prime mover of the whole affair: at least*
if he is not the frons Factionis, it is pretty well
ascertained that his self•love received a tno4
grateful stimulus, as he threw his important re'
Bards over the dignified epistle of the Auctioneev

Secretary,
Should these observation• elicit—as they yen/
likely may—some explanatory remarks in certsiss
leading Journals, I pledge myself to resume the
matter de itove ; and I take upon me to say
will not only exhibit proof of what I have nosf
advanced, but in my ulterior developments I will
completely unkennel the " ridicules taus."

SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday evening, at ISO
house of his uncle, Mr. Dix's, of Sun-street,
Bishopsgate•street, Witt.tax SAIT, a young Kraft
about 21 years .of age, was seized with a fit 's
apoplexy, and immediately expired. without 1
slightest previous indisposition. His death is the
more to be lamented, as from the steadiness atoll
conduct, and his exemplary behaviour in the pel'
formance of his duties, few have a greater clatto,
to regret, even amongst those in mare elevirtgA
situations.

mile from Cried, :supposed to have died by the
