WESTMOULANEt ELECTION.

KENDAL, Fall. 11.-11;voiry 'effort was made here"
for giving eclat to an entry that was to confound the
friends of Mr. Broocham. The Gentlemen of this
part of the county gave orders for their tenants to jinn
in the cavalcade that was to be formed on the rood
from Milnthorpelo this place. The Corporation was
_to meet them—the Gentlemen of this town were also
to make part of the parade; and " dreadful note of
preparation" was on all sides given. Unfortunately
for the exertions of the honourable Gentlemen who
must be engaged on both the lanwther as well
*as the other side of the question—some too zea-
lous partizans gave large potatibos of ale to the
lower classes of the inhabitants on the Tuesday even-
ing, thinking, probably, thereby to torn that part
of the community, who am blue to be yellow. These
potations were repeated on the morning of Wednes-
day. Ale was also given to the canil.men, who
were entire strangers to the county, and who were
executing • hat work in the neighbourhood of Kendal.
This had an onfortunatla effect : it infuriated the
populace : and the canal-men turned against the
party that gave them liquor. It had been said that
there was a design for some time, in the blee mob, to
p•rpetrath the actions that followed; but how can
that be supposed, when the entrance of the Gentle-
men was only announced on- Monday, end it took
place on Wednesday ? It etas a fortunate circum-
stance for the tows of Kendal that it was a blue
mob, though the consequences must be regretted
by all.
It was with the utmost difficulty that Lord
Lowther, his brother, and their friends, matte
an entry ; and they were dreadfully bespatered,
and many Gentlemen much hurt. These Gentle-
men were obliged to gallop through the streets:
anti it ♦as wonderful that we do, not bear of more
than one person that was Much injaid by the unre-
strained, but necessary, forma of thif itortea an‘
their tiders through streets that were completelt
jammed by men, women, and children.
After this had subsided, Mr. James Breogham re-
paired to a house opposite the Commercial Inni•
which was the head-quarters of Lord Lowther, his
brother, &c. and addressed the People; insisting, in,
the strongest language, upon the necessity of refrain-
ing from every sort of violence; and be desired to
know whet the present Members had to say in an-
swer to the "calumnious misrepresentations" which,
in their Address, they had stated Mr. Brougham's
friends had made use of ! Ile waited ma* time—
when Mr.ll.Curwen stood forward, and spin called
on the present Members to mate what these grounds
of complaint were, if they had any ; bet no person
appeared, although the silence was so great that the
voice of a child might have been heard at that
moment.
When it became dark, the windows of the Com-
mercial Inn were, we are sorry to say, nearly all
broken. The White Hart Inn, where the canal la-
bourers had been regaled with ale by the partisans of
the Members, was much injured in its furniture and
windows ;—the houses of some individuals suffered a
little; but by Amu o'clock at night, the streets
were nearly cleared ; and the nighty patrol found
all quiet for the remainder of the oight.—(Carlisle
Journal.)

This morning, /Kilian& Hatchman, Charlotte
Newman, Mary Ann James, and John Mal,- were
eurcured before the Debtor's door, Neargvte, per-
saint to their sentence, amidst a great Concourse of
spectators.
The very great satisfaction the plan adopted in
former Lotteries gave to persons residing in the
Country, bas induced T. Erriti,.the Contractor, to
repeat it in the present ; and lie, hopes.he has, as in

SECNET COMMITTEE.
' The Earl of CAltNARVON'siid,, he had a te-
tition to present to their Lordships from a persim
who had suffered ander the Suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act, and who staled that be. had beinllm--
prisoned without any causi. If the forms of . the
House would permit it, be should • wish .tp move,

lteport of the Committee might perhaps be made;tot
morrow.

„The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, ,the Regan,
would not be made to-morrow, nor ptirhaps for a
day or two. It was the custom of their Lordships'
House for some notice to be given of such a mistier' as
that the Noble Earl proposed to make. The Noble
Earl might, therefore, muse, .that the Petition be re-.
ceived to-day, sad give police of his motion for the
earliest convenient day.
Lord HOLLAND se* it was important that
Petitions of this hind sleald be sent to the Coin-
mittee, and be could see ha objection to their being
immediately referred. Papers of another description
had been it+ referred since the Committee was formed.
This certaioly »as a fact, unless the reports which
had reached him on that subject were singularly

The Earl. of LIVERPOOL said, that no papen
bird been refzrred to the Committee since it was 'form.
eri, except such as had been sent down by command
OI the Prince Regent. _

Some conversation followed which was not 'edible
below the bar. In the mean time the Clerk carried
the Petition to the Lord Chancellor,which was found
to want the word " humble ;" beginning "The Pea-
Lion of," instead of " the bumble Petition, &c."
The Earl of CARNARVON mid, Ittihad read the
Petition, and he could assure their Lordships that it
*as decorously worded. The omission of the word
" humble," he hoped, would not be considered of
such consequence as to prevent its being received.
• Lord HOLLAND begged their Lordships to con-'
sider, that as this was a Petition from a person who
complained of nothing less than illegal and unjust
coofitteusent, it was one which they ought not to re-
ject on the ground of any light or trivial informality.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought that it would
be proper to have the Petition altered, es he under-
stood it was not the custom of the House to receive
Petitions so informally worded.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought, that,
where there appeared no intention to treat the
House with disrespect, there could be no reason for
rejecting a Petition. His Noble Friend had stated,
that there was nothing improper in the wording of
the Petition, except the omission which had been
oventiened. When such complaints as that now
offered were made, their Lordships ought not to
make robjectiens to Petitions on mere form, but throw
wide their shuns for their reception.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the Peti-
tion bore on the face of it a reason for not receiving
it. It was quite contrary to their Lordships' practice
to receive Petitions so worded.

Lord HOLLAND asked, whether the Noble Lord
meant to go the length of saying, that no Petition in
which the word " humble" had been omitted had
been received by the House?
The LORD CHANCELLOR bad by no mews
pledged himself to any such thing. It certainly was
not the practice to receive Petitions with the omission
which occurred in the present case, and it would re-
quire perhaps more time to ascertain whether there
was any precedent for such an omission than to get it
supplied by a new Petition.
Lord KING wished to press it on the considera-
tion of the House, that as Me was a Petition which
purported to come from an injured individual, every
facility ought to be afforded to the complaint. The
Noble Earl who brought it up had assured their
Lordships that it contained nothing disrespectful ;
and the objection related only to one word, and that
a word of omission. It appeared to him, that it
would, therefore, be highly improper to refuse it,
especially when the Noble Earl meant to move, that I
it bestfetred to the Secret Committee, for which
tbdre.might not be time, if an alteration in the Peti-
tion was insisted on, as lie understood that it would
be necessary to send it to Manchester.
-The Earl of CARNARVON hoped that thete
would be time for this motion he intended to make,
before-the Secret Committee reported to the House.
If there should be time for altering the Petition, he
would get it done before be made the motion for re•
forting it to the Committee. In the mean time be
moved that the Petition be !cwt.—Ordered.
Thd Milton was then red by the Clerk.
It purported to be the Petition of Philip Drum-
mond, of Manchester, reed maker, and set forth
that.the Petitioner had been present at a Meeting in
