Eztract from Monday's Observer, which is regularly
published every Monday afternoon at Poor o'Clock, at No. 169,
Strand, London.—" We have to acknowledge the receipt of several
Letters from different pasts of the Country during the last week,
complaining of the substitution of other Weekly Papers for the
Monday Edition if the Obaetver. It may be proper to state that
The Oisrroe► is never supplied from our own Office,but from News
Agents. We are aware of the unworthy motive which has led to
the impudent substitution described, and can only recommend that
those persons who have been so grossly imposed upon will change
their Agents, and, of course, decline paying for Papers which they
have not ordered, and which have been attempted to be forced
upon them for sinister, if not malicious purposes. As the subject
will be submitted to the decision of a Coen of Justice, we shall
refrain from being more explicit at present.—June ft."

ELECTION-INTELLIGENCE.
NONTHUattIF.RLANWits„,,,,,,, Jura IC
Notwithstanding the denial Mr. Liddell and Mr.
Beaumont of a coalition, yet it itilprOtty generally be-
lieved there is a tacit understabling, between their
friends, which leads to the same effect. The absence of
L itcl Grey horn this county for nearly fifrern months,
during wh ch he resided at Plymouth with his family,
r the benefit f his health, has given the other can-
didates a great advantage. Since Mr. Beaumont has
beaded him on the poll, his enemies, notwithstan.ling,
his declat at:on. to the contrary, seem to calculate upon
his immediate resignation, and are not slow in cilcu-
lating the conjecture as fact. Though the lii:nds of
each are most zealous for their favouitte, there has not
been the slightest manifestation of a tendency to riot or
d sturbance. The candidates, ton, with the exception
of a little skirmiblting between Lord Ilowick and Mr.
Beaumont, treat each other with courtesy and gentle-
manlike feeling. Lady Lambton, Lidy Bulteel, mad
the Mon. Miss Grey, spent borne hours in the booths to-
day, and when a freeholder voted for Lord Howick,they
rose and thanked him with the most urbane affability.

The grnsc numbers at the close of the poll were—
Liddell 859
.
Bell . . 517
liesumont . ! 670
1 luwick . 632
.

Mr. LIDDELL •aid, he maintained his situdion on
the poll, notwith.tanding the formidable efforts of the
other candidates, which cannot again be repeated.
Again he d -sti.-cf the charge of coalition—(amid cries of
" True, true.")
Mr. BELL thanked the freeholders for the high situ-
ation he occupied on the poll. If there be a coalition,
as it is charged, it was directed against him ; but he
defied it.

Mr. BEAUMONT said, that having gained one step,
he would go on progressively increa,ing till he was
at the head of the poll. He disclaimed any coalition'
from himself, but if the people chose to coalesce he
could not help them.
Lord HOWICK again repeated with colfidence, that
before the end of next week he would change places
with Mr. Liddell. The charge of coalition, which he
insinitated yesterday, he now directly made, and chal-
lenged Mr. Liddell to produce his canvassing book. He
would produce his. He called upon the tieeholders to
protect him from such a combination, and preserve the
independence of the county—(Considerable uproar
among the friends of the various parties.)
Mr. LIDMILL directly denied a coalition.
