Mr. Lawson then stepped forward and said, " Gototietnesrd:
this period of the contest I have a statement to make, which I di
do without any feeling of mortification, and as I before told Iss I
should do, without envying my opponent whatever feelings d
triumph he may be disposed to indulge. He has at this momenta

powerful badly with which it is allied; but, Gentlemen, home

' Mr. Lawson here palled out the letter which he hitetidd mbar
read oh Tuesday, when a large body of Yellows armed with
bludgeons, which they mow inhibited for the first time, posted
down upon the Ilium, and completely beat them away from hales
the Town Hall. Having surprised them unawares, few of the Inter
attempted any defence, except some Irishmen, who are sedan
without their sprigs upon such occasions ; one or two of filmgoer
fellows were shamefully beaten. Several Blues, after bens doom
upon their backs, were stillteudgelled unmercifully, and the preM
pal part of the town was in the utmost confusion.
Colonel Lusieneueon availed himself of a period, while the rimm
were amusing themselves with demolishing the Coto bore Mo-
dons, to my that he bad heard much at the ecenniencewitat clan
contest, respecting the tyrannical and domineering influence of the
Lowther family; " but, Gentlemen," he continued," all silo Imow

so well as ere do, ColeneLl—The Coked proceeded to
say, that he. should vote as independently as any man breatare;
and that no influence, and no place or emolument, should bra. fib

great deal of intemperance in this town, and, as the successful rs'

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

BODMIN, Tossoam, Atreus: 14.

1 The Assign for the ibuntyof Cornwall commenced
this morning in this town (the Commission having been
opened yesterday). Lord Chief Justice Ban sat at
the Crown Side; Mr. Justice BURROUGH at the Civil.
Lord Chief Justice BEST, in charging the Grand
Jury, took an elaborate view of the late alteration in
the criminal law, which was wrought by Mr. Peel's
bills, and of the application of that change to the
offences which they would have to investigate. He
said, that from the state of their calendar, it was not
necessary for him to reiterate any of the observations
concerning the Poor Laws, which he had previously
made at Salisbury, as he believed their poor were
pretty well employed; but he urged upon the country
Gentlemen, the paramount importance,of their endea-
vouring to infuse into the poorer classes a spirit of
independence, and an encouragement to husband the
fruits of their industry. As a means of producing that
salutary result, he particularly dwelt upon the diffusion
of well-regulated benefit societies. The savings banks,
good as they
.undoulovedly were, had not in principle
the same practical advantage ; for the poor-man, upon
any sudden impulse, could run and withdraw his
earnings from them; not so, however, in the benefit
societies, for there his periodical payments were sunk,
as it were, into an annuity, of which he had the per-
manent advantage.

CARLISLE ELECTION.

THIRD DAY.—Wednesday was the third day's Poh,
when the town was thrown into great disturbance. h
originated in the Yellows renewing their attack upon
the Newcastle coachev, laden with Blue Freem••n, ii
Yellows surrounded the True Briton coach. seis,e4 nFpa
four of the Freemen, in spite of the exertions of th
Police, wi.en fortunately for the passengers, the Blue
party came up with another tally of Frerm-n, and a
regular affray commenced; the Yellows were over.
powered, and driven into their rendezvous in Fisher.
street (the King's Head), where they were pelted by the
Blues, and the Yellows returned the missiles from the
windows, with slates from the root. They have been
compelled to draw in their yellow stand..rd. The 3laynt
in consequence of the disturbance, in which sev:ral per.
sons were wounded, adjourned the poll from three to
four &clack. There were two statements of the close
of the poll, one was, for Colonel LustuxuvoN 2'6, fot
Mr. LAWSON 261. Another is for Colonel LussuNtrros
275, for Mr. LAWSON 258.

CONCLUSION OF THE ELECTION.

FOURTH DAY••••-THURSDAY.

The night has passed over without any further to.
I am told, that during the disturbanre of yester.
day, the party of infantry who have charge of the
Castle, received orders to be in readiness, and that they
had assumed their regiment.,ls, /sc. for tl‘e oceasion,i3
readiness to act if called upon; and, I undeistand,that
the remainder of the battalion are within signals, in eau
they should be wanted.

As the polling was stopped on the breaking out of
the disturbance, the only immediate disadvantage sus-
tained by the Yellows, was the lcm of one flag, &Aro!.
ed by the Blues, and being compelled to strike the other.
—lt was, however, believed, that it will have infused a
certain degree.of panic into that party, and present
their voters from coming up to the poll very readily
today; but in this people were mistaken.
Yesterday was, besides, the principal day for the
Yellows to bring up their country voters, and all that
came into the city for them did not vote; some mar
have been obliged to return without voting, or thNlght
it prudent to do so; others must be maintained in toes
at the expense of somebody. Then again this is jo bee
principal day with the other party ; and the state of t!'e
poll must unquestionably be regarded as a strong ind:.
cation of the crisis, if not of the probable duration of the
contest. It has therefore been expected sith in.
'tense anxiety.

The Yellows had this morning taken up the Wbi!e
Hart, in English-street, as their place of :endeavors, i,
consequence of having been driven out i f the King's
Head. Hem they displayed their only remaining firr
The polling commenced exactly at nine o'clock. The
Blues brought up the first tally : the Yellows bad also
a tally in readiness, and their music was out, but ihot
carried no colour in the beginning of the day. In 11;e
forenoon the Blues had the advantage, but about non

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 17.

An application was made to this Cotih yesterday, on
the part of Captain John ltamsden, for leave to file a
Petition, and to obtain his discharge. Mr. Ramsden, in
his petition, stated, that he had been in prison upwards
of ten years, during which time, by legacies, presents,
half:psy, and otherwise, he bad received and expended
upwards of 15,0001. out of this sum he had paid 11,2144.
to divers persons. He had also lost 5001. by horses
since he had been in prison, and paid 2001. for the keep
gf horses. He had made several attempts to effect a
compromise with his creditors, but without effect.
Mr. BARRY, who appeared to oppose the application,
said, that since the insolvent had been in prison, he had
received four times as much as would have paid his
debts, but he had not paid his creditors one farthing.
A short time ago, he endeavoured to obtain his dis-
charge by a fraudulent bankruptcy, but the persons
concerned in it had been tried and convicted.
The Cato Cousttssiosaa, however, said that a man
was not to sesnain in prison for life, and granted the
application.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

hiSTON-IFrOUSIL
Ste. Gilbert, the proprietor of the Blossoms Inn, Lavrience-
hne, was summoned by a Gentleman named Patellar'. who
charged him with having refused to deliver up a box which had
arrived In town by the Brighton mall.
'1 he complainant said, that on Tuesday night be and a friend
came to London by the Brighton trail, and upon their arrival
at Lontbard•street he gave the coachman and guard a shilling
each. The peed, however, was dissatisfied with the perquisite,
and said, "Ts this all you are going to give usr " I give you that
for myself," said ebe witness, "my friend will of course give yon
what he likes." " That be d—cl," said the guard, " I will have
half-a.crovrn • and if you won't pay it, re have this here anick ;"
and be seine the box, "and I'm d—d if I don't keep it till you
pay me." The witness then was apprehensive of being annoyed,
and desired that the box should be conveyed to the coaels.office,
where be eettalnly expected that justice would be rendered to him.
Upon arriving at the coach-office, however, he was told, to his
astonishment, that the box was over weight, and ought to bare
been charged at Brighton. The guard mentioae4, as if in excuse
for the neglect, that the box had been brought to the coach in a
berry, and pat in the boot in a moment, without exantinatioo or
delay.
The book-keeper of the defendant declared that he would keep
pmsession of it until the extra sam of 3a. should be paid.
The complainant. in answer to a question put by the Loan
Maros, said that the box bad not been brought in haste, as had
been stated, to the mail. It remained at the booking since for five
hours and a half, and the bnok-keeper looked at the box and their
other parcels, and asked if they were all the luggage they bad ?
The Lout PRIATOSIII the box entered in the way-bill?
The Book-keeper replied in the affirmative.
The Loan MAYOR desired that the way.bill should be produced.
After some delay the way.bill was produced, but the item tinned
oat to be mere interlineations' and written in a hand different front
the writing oldie body of the bill. The hook-keeper admitted that
those interlineations bad not beat Deadest Brighton, but in Londoo,
after the arrival of the mail. _ _

The Loan Maros asked, what was seriously the Intention of the
defendant after having made these admiseionst Did he mean to de-
tain the box, or give it op ?
The book-keeper said that his master was not in tows, and that
ha knew nothing about the conduct of the guard or the coachman.
The LOAD Maros said it was evident that nothing was intended
to have been charged for the conveyance of the boa until the guard
and coachman were disoithfied with their perquisites. If the com-
plainant had not voluntarily surrendered the boa when required so
to do, be would have sent the coachman and guard to New gate foe
stealintit. He hoped, however, that an action in trimer would be•
brought for the recovery of the box.
The complainant said he should bring his action.

WAGGON ft BURL

Benjamin Slater stood indicted for robbing a waggon',
between Newcastle and Allanhead of a pack, containing
woollen and linen goods, the prnperty of Mr. James
M.Bride, of this town.
Matthew Nevin stated, that he was son to the common
carrier between Newcastle and Allanhead, and on the
25th July last he received a large brown paper parcel,
containing a quantity of woollen and linen drapery
goods, from Mr. M'3ride, directed to Mr. G. Babson,
of Allanhead; he placed it in the tail of the waggon,
and proceeded on his journey as far as the four mile
stone, beyond Nubbock toll bar, when be missed it. It
was quite safe at about half a mile beyond Hczham.
He instantly sent a messenger back to look after it, and
employed the bellman at Hezham to cry it, and a re-
ward was offered for its recovery ; but no tidings what-
ever
could be heard of it. Two days after, from infor-
mation, he and a police officer went to the lodgings of,
the prisoner, but he was not at home; he shot tly came
I up, and on being asked if he knew anything respecting
such a parcel, he denied all knowledge whatever of it,
and said they might search his apartment, had not his
wife gone out and taken the key of the room with her.
The prisoner finding they were determined to stop till
site came home, ran away, but was overtaken and
brought back ; the door was forced open, and in a
drawer and a chest were found nearly all the property
and the invoice, together with the brown paper wrapper.
Both Nevin and the police officer corroborated this
statement, and produced the property, all of which
Mr. M'Bride identifiid as being the same he had for-
warded to Mr. Robson, by Nevin, the carrier.
William Charlton swore that he saw the prisoner at
Nubbock bar about 12 o'clock in the forenoon of the
day in question, nearly at the period the waggon went
through.
The prisoner, in his defence, denied most earnestly
that he had stoles the parcel, but bad found it in the
middle of the road, and declared positively that he did
not know he was acting illegally in detaining it, having
picked it up. Two or three respectable people gave
him a good character.
The Learned BARON, in summing up, t'ld the Jury,
that if the prisoner had even found the packet, and knew
of his own knowlege that it had been advertised, and
afterwards detained it, he was equally guilty of felony,
as if he had actually stolen it.
The Jury found him guilty of withholding the goods
after public notice was given.
Mr. Baron Huaaoca.--Then that is guilty of steal-
iog them. ,
Foreman.—That is our verdict, my Lord.
The prisoner was then sentenced to fifteen months
imprisonment, and to be kept to hard labour.

Our town is Suite full; every kedging is occupied. Yesterday's
Maces afforded excellent sport; the course was crowded with fami-
lies of the first distinction in the county, amongst whom was his
Grace thel)uke of Wessitturos,who was received with acclamations.
Cie came in a plain carriage and four; and the moment he was recog-
■iaed.he was cheered from all parts; he went on the stand and 'hewed
himself to the spectators; he was dressed in plain blue, without deco-
rat ions. In riding round the oourse,he was surrounded by all the higher
classes, who gave three cheers to the noble Wellington, and three
additional cheers for the honour he bad conferred on the county of
Dorset, which his Grace returned with condescending affability,
shaking hands with all who could get access to him. Amongst the
crowd, during the sport of yesterday, was an old veteran selling
lists of the running horses, who, on perceiving his Grace, imme-
diately recognised him. His Grace was not insensible to the ardour
of his fellow soldier, and gave hint a sovereign for one of his lists.

GUILDHALL.

Mr. Humphries, the Solicitor, attended on behalf of the baker
who, some days since, was presented by the Inquest of Cripplegate
Ward for selling light bread, and having waited for upwards of an
hour without any member of the Inquest appearing to prosecute the
charge, he requested that the case might be dismissed, observing
that, after an attentive perusal of all the Acts of Parliament bearing
on the subject, he was satisfied the defendant could not be convicted,
as his scales were perfectly correct, and that if any measures were
taken against him, it could only be by an indictment at common
law, for a cheat.
Mr. Alderman CILOWDEZ was fearful that no conviction could
take place, although it was quite evident a shameful fraud had been
committed in the mode of weighing the bread by means of machinery
concealed under the scale, by which be could act upon the weights
' to any extent he was disposed.
hit. Humphries said that his client denied all intention of fraud ;
it was possible, he added, that the machinery, or whatever it was,
was made for the use of the public.
The ALDERMAN replied that no one could believe otherwise‘tban
that it was intended to deceive and impose on the public, and a
scandalous hand it was.

Mr. Humphries had, he said, no means of knowing that, but ha
was convinced no offence had been committed of which a Magis-
trate could take cognizance.
The ALDERMAN observed that he was bound to admit this, but be
howl the public would not suffer themselves again to be deceived
by him.
Mr. Humphries—He is a young man in business, and has, 1 think,
erred front inexperience.
The ALDERMAN—Where does be live
Mr. Humphries—ln Grub-street.
The Atneasiaz—Well, I must discharge the case; but it is but
right that his name and address should be known.
The baker, who had been sitting behind his Solicitor, then rose,
and requested to know if the scales, which bad been detained by
the Inquest, were to be returned to him, and declared that he had
been entrapped, as he had never intended to commit the fraud
charged against him.
The ALDERAIAN declined making any order on the subject, and
intimated that it the Parish Officers should decide on proceedings
against hint in another way, it would be necessary to produce the
scales in Court.

Mr. Earnshaw, with several Gentlemen of the Inquest, shortly
afterwards came into Court, and apologised for being so lac
They, however (if the case had not been dismissed), had ho new

ltbW- TIL EET.

A journeyman gun-smith was brought before G. R. Minium.,
Esq. on Saturday, charged with most brutal cruelty towards his
own dsughter, an interesting looking little girl, scarcely ten years of
age, whose hands and arms appeared lacerated and bruised in a
moat ahocking manner, the in.truments used by her father when
correcting her being an Iron ramrod or wins toasting fork.— A
female, named Welsh, with whom he lived, was also accused of
similar conduct.

The charge was brought fcrward by the child's mother, who had
been deserted by her liti.bantl, and left by him entirely destitute of
support. The (Ace was crowded to excess by person. of both
sexes, wbo attended to give evidence as to the treatment which she
had received. Their testimony, however, was not called fur, as the
poor child bore upon her thsse proofs that rendered all further in.
quisy unnecessary.—The father and his strumpet were locked up.
The young Frenchman who was detained in custody upon a
charge of b.stardy, was discharged on Saturday, after giving the
parish the indemnity they required.
RATION-GARDEN.

Atkinson, the informer, preferred an information against the
ProphetOr of die Queen's Head Tavern, lied Lion-passage, for
keepisti his house open at unseasonable hours; but the evidence of
this precious informer's witness was, that the house was open at
five minutes before twelve, wh he information stated the time
to be fifty-fire minutes past twelve The information was conse-
quently dismissed. Atkinson's witness then swore, that Mr. Hart,
of the Feathers Tavern, Hand-court, served Min with a glass of
gin and peppermint, at five minutes past twelve, on Monday
night.—Mr. Hart, however, brought several witnesses to prove
that his house was a tavern, and used by the Gentkmen of Gray's
Inn, who occasionally dined and supped at his house. No liquors
were ever d over the bar. This inforniation was also dis-
missed. Two others followed, and were disposed of in a similar
way, much to the satisfaction of a numerous body of respectable
Licensed Victuallers, who were present, and to the evident morti-
fication of Atkinson and Co. who were amongst the missing in a
very few seconds.
