CARLISLE ELECTION.
FROM Tilt CARLIILI PATRIOT.
The election for this city commenced on FridAl last,
and the friends of both Candidates were on the alert at
an early hour. Purple and blue Rats were displayed
at their respective head quarters; their_musicians tuned
up their pipes and braced up their drums; and the
streets were once more gay with streamers, and sheaved
symptoms of jubilee—though not in the exquisite degree
of a real contest.

The Town Hall doors wan npenedst ten precisely.
The Mayor, as returning officer, having taken his seat on the
bench, with the Candidates, and the usual formalities being gone
through, the Rev. Dr. LOWRY proposed Sir Philip Musgrave, Hart
as a proper person to represent the City of Carlible in Parliamect.
Sir J. D. A. Gum seconded the motion.

Sir PHILIP Nuaaa•ra then addressed bia brother freemen.

Mr. W. HALTOXIILIgU proposed Sir James Graham,
Bart. and the nomination was seconded by Mr. Joni
BLAIIIRZ, of Carlisle.
Sit JAMS, Gaasass addressed the Meeting at great length.
Mamas Bcart.oca then stood up and sail—" I propose Win.
James, lisq. of Smock Lodge, as a proper person to represent the
City of Carlisle in Parliament.* The motion was seconded by
Joins BALM%

A show of hands now took place; those for the two Baronets
were confined to Freemen, and were consequently few; those far
Mr. James amounted to hundreds—Not, however, the bands of
Freemen of Carlisle.
Sir Jamas GRAHAM said he had a short time ago ap•
plied to Mr. James, in London, and was told by that
Gentleman that he had made up his mind to withdraw
from ParliaMent, and nothing should induce him tooter
himself again ; for he. Sir James, had determined not
to interfere with the Hon. Gentleman if he intended to
come forward. After I came down here, continued Sir
James, I wrote to him, and will now read his reply to
my letter:

" Barrock Lodge, June 7,1821.
" My dear Grabam--In reply to your note, I can only repeat,
that under no circumstances is it my wish to sit in the neat l'Ir•

inntent ; and if I am put in nomination at the mein election, it
will be without my sanction or authority.—Very faithfully your's,
" WILLIAM JAMIII."
THOMAS &A/LOCH said--Mr. James told me on
Wednesday, that he had relinquished his seat in Par-
liament; that he had seen Sir James in Loudon and
told him so; that he would not interfere, nor come
upon the hustings; but if the people returned him, he
would come and thank them, and go and take his seat.
(This was hailed with loud cheers.)
Polling then commenced amidst 'mach noise and
contusion.

About three o'clock, a strong body of the mob at-
tacked the friends of Sir Philip near the Town-hall steps,
and destroyed both his flags. This gave rise to several
skirmishes between the purples and the mob. The latter
;an to the river side and armed themselves with stones ;
so that, about three, the shops were shut in the Market-
place and English-street, and stones flew about in copious
showers. Many persons on both sides were hit—some
severely cut. We saw one poor child in the street (a
female), running homewards, with her head apparently
badly cut by a stone. It was impossible for Sir Philip's
voters to go up to the poll, without endangering their
lives. The proceedings in the Hall were therefore
brought to an abrupt termination soon after 3 o'clock.

beautifully decorated chair, and was received with the
greatest applause. Mr. Borrodaile is to be chaired to
