Saturday evening a riot took place in Snr.th Shields. A mob
collected together, and after proem iv.: tar barrels, set them on
fire before tbe houses of the fib nds of NIr.WHA areec, and grossly
intrAted the inmates. The vio ence being kept up, a number of
.Special Constables were sworn in, when the mob tliliersed;
but on the retirement of the constables, again committed more
violence, but were repulsed by the constables, who toak several
of the ringleaders into custody.

—Thenumbers on the finally casting
up of the poll were, for Sir Francis Burdett 5,387; for Ns.
Hobhouse 4,832; and for Nlr. Lamb 4,436. Mr. Lamb, as it
is well known, stood on the last occasion on tLe Whig Interest
alone, Dlinixters lending him no assistance. On a former err-A-
ston Ministers lent all their aid to Mr. Lamb; yet between that
occasiou and the present there is only a difference of 49 in Mr.
Lamb's matr.bers. In 1820, Mr. Lamb, upon the Whig interest
alone, has 4,4.36 votes; in 1818, with the aid of the Ministers,
he had but 4,465. If he had had all he formerly polled, an the
present occasion, he would still have been 417 below Mr.
Hobbouse.

AN Timmer Eta-cum—Monday se'mlight, an eminent ale.
brewer called, with one of Mr. Mxixisit's canvassing parties,
on an elderly man, who is a cooper, residing in the neighbourhood
of Mile End-road, and who receives annually a considerable inns
from the brewer, whose influence in this instance was relied upon.
—After the usual introductory inducements had been made use
of, and his vow was solicited, the cooper, addressing himself to
Mr. Memasts, who attended the party, said—" Sir, on the
Corn Bill, or the Bullion Committee, you might know better
than I did, and I would bow to your judgment; but as to
the grant of ten thousand pounds a-year to the Duke of York,
for visiting his afflicted father, that is a simple question,
easily understood by every father or son; and, let the conse-
quences as respects Mr. 's business be what they may,
d— me if I will give my vote in favour of any man who could
disgrace himself by forwarding so infamous a grant." The can-
vassing party withdrew, struck dumb by this unexpected honour
able exhibition of honest fee:in g on the part of this upright elector.
As Mr. Join HYDE, of Spital, near Berwick, was proceeding
to his father's house last week, a short distance front the Tweed,
he was attacked Ly four m5;113, who, after sobbing him of his
property, inflicted a dreadful wound, Ma longitudinal dire
from the upper part of the throat to the breast-bone, wit:i a
blunt instrument. He survived the atrocious act Inc a short
time. The Coroner's Jury have returned a verdict of—Wilt::l
Murder against some person or persons unknown.
Ms xsiox-Housx.--The son of the celebrated Hirtanionosi, the
preacher, was yesterday brought up on the charge of.havirg
broken into the warehouse which was some time ago the rinser e
(or the Hiaiseless, under circumstances which led the watchman
of tlee Asylum to suspect him of having intended to destroy the
place by tire, or to plunder it. The poor wretched-locking crea-
ture, half mked, was dragged out of the straw. I;e said Ire was
son to IluNriNceow, the preacher, and that, having no swirl.,
and being refused pari..:h assistance, he had repaired to the nee
Inge, but finding the door shut, he had thought it no harm to
creep in at the ss indcw to sleep. Ile denied having had at .y
intention to \woe& any body; and the MAGISTRATN having es-
certained that the unfol :orate man was harmless and destitute
dismissed him to his pari fie
