CAPTAIN BLACKETT MR. DOUBLEDAY. NEWCASTLE ELECTION AGAIN.
The appearance of Captain Blackett, as the Candidate of an emergency" in the Whig-Radical interest at the last Election for Newcastle, has been fraught with annoyance to himself personally. The affair has, at the same time, covered his principal supporters of this Town with odium and degradation, and shorn them of the little influence they personally possessed. But, amongst the ranks of ministerial supporters throughout the country it has showered indescribable confusion. The incurable and never -ceasing evils and distempers which dispersed themselves over the world, on the opening of the fabied Pandora's box, were not more pestilential to mankind in general than have been the dreadful misfortunes which have since befallen the united hosts of Whig-Radicals and Destructives. Dissentions, reproaches, disorganizations, and recriminations have in followed upon each other throughout the enemy's camp regular and rapid succession.
The horrid incantations of the weird sisters" in Macbeth did not produce, more toil and or were more potent for mischief to the Thane Cawdor, than have been the results of the Newcastle Election to the ministry and their hangers-on. First, to make the gruel thick and Daniel O'Connell whined over the defeat of Captain Blackett, as a proof that the people of England are determined not to grant what he calls Justice other words, that they are to solved not to elevate Popery on the ruins of Protestantism, or to countenance those wild and revolutionary projects which would lead, eventually, to a dismemberment of the Empire. Then came a series of doleful Jeremiads from the ministerial scribes, lamenting O'Connell's indiscretion, in proclaiming the weakness and defeat of his own party. These venal advocates attempted to throw a veil over the discomfiture which Whig-Radicalism had sustained, by serting that Captain Blackett was as much-or, at least, nearly as much a Conservative as Mr. Hodgson, and that, consequently, the chances of success rested, not on public but upon the personal merits of the candidates.
This flimsy veil, thrownover the defeat of the Melbourneites, was unceremoniously torn away by the rude hand of O'Conneil, who shewed that the only questions agitated during the election had reference to Irish Affairs. For once we came to the aid of the Irish Mendicant. We referred to the Poll-book. printed by the Whig- Radicals themselves, and challenged the dirty hacks of the Melbourne Ministry in this town to point out the name of a single Radical who had voted for Mr. Hodgson, either through fear, favour, or affection.
We further requested the party to examine the lists of Electors whether Old Freemen or Household Voters and see if they could discover, on the other hand, the name of a single Radical who had held aloof from supporting Captain Blackett. The result was that no such anomaly as a Destructive having, by any accident, voted on the right side could be found, or one who had refused to support the Whig-Radical. The party was, therefore, silenced but up rose a new disputant in the person of Tnomas Wentworth Beaumont, Esq. who took a new view of the matter. He argued, with very considerable plausibility and ingenuity, that the Election was lost owing to the presumption and insolence of a Radical Surgeon, and a Whig- Radical Physician who foolishly imagined that the independent constituency of Newcastle would dance in wires, whilst they acted as Puppet-masters and pulled the strings.
Mr. Beaumont's letter called forth a reply from John Hodgson Hinde, Esq. the independent member of the borough, who shewed that the Election was decided on the broad basis of political principle alone--the Hon. Member himself having been preferred by the constituency to Capt. Blackett, because he was hostile to the Irish Church Robbery Scheme, and was determined not to sanction the wild project of placing in the hands of Popish Agitators the entire power and patronage of the Irish Corporations.
Here we had imagined the disputed question would have been set at rest but we were mistaken. The fertile subject of dissention has been revived, at the recent meetings of Whigs and Radicals to take into consideration the propriety of discarding Captain Blackett as a candidate at future Elections for Newcastle, and calling out that vain and shallow coxcomb, Sir William Molesworth in his stead. It may be remembered that, at the first of these meetings Mr. Doubleday declared he only supported Capt Blackett, in the last contest, because he was 66 the candidate of an emergency and that he should not only refuse to vote for that gentleman at the next election, but feel hirself justified in contributing to his being second time defeated. At the second meeting Mr.
Doubleday went a step further, and declared that Captain Blackett had no political views, that they could not expect much out of nothing, and that his application to the Radicals for their votes seemed the most ridiculous thing possible." He furthermore described the Hon. Captain as wanting in political knowledge, talent, and courage," and ridiculed him as a man who presumed himself capable of playing every part in tragedy and comedy. To this vituperative strain of ridicule, Capt. Blackett has replied, in a letter addressed to Mr. Doubleday, and published in the Radical prints.
The Honourable Captain's answer we now proceed briefly to notice. Captain Blackett's reply, if not, in Mr. Doubleday's phrase, the most ridiculous" -is at least, the most amusing thing possible." The worthy Captain commences by an assumption of good humour, but very speedily informs us that he finds in the shafts of ridicule directed against him by Mr. Doubleday, much to complain of and after expressing his very natural soreness at the treatment he has received, and censuring Mr. Doubleday for the unmerited severity of his attack, declares that he is consoled, in his retirement, by the reflexion that he acted throughout 6 6 on a conviction of what was right." therefore," he says, remain quite undismayed by the merciless buffets which I seem doomed to receive alike from friends and foe, on that UNLUCKY OCCASION.
66 Unlucky," would indeed We told the Hon. Captain how his expedition end, and warned him of the pit-fall that his advance. He suffered himself, however, to awaited be hoodwinked by Messrs. Headlam, Charnley, Fife, and Philipson -it was, in fact, the blind leading the blind. Those arrogant and self sufficient individuals, as the Captain now informs us, made an unconditional offer of the representation to him.
He tells us that "he was given to understand, by the deputation which brought him from Capheaton, that liberals of all shades were anxious he should offer himself to save them from (what they deemed to be) a worse fate, and that he was to be supported on his own terms, with all his imperfections on his Fife, of course, was the bell-weather of the Radicals, and Headlam and Charnley acted as Whig-mouthpieces. Here, then, we have the whole plot against the independence of the Borough, disclosed by Captain Blackett himself. In reply to Mr. Doubleday's sneer of his being anxious to play every part in tragedy and comedy, Captain Blackett says there was a material difference between himself and Mr. Doubleday's ideal actor.
We give the Captain's words He offered himself to the manager full of presumption in his own talent; whereas, in my case, I was sought after, and almost pushed upon the stage, totally unprepared for a part which I had never dreamt of acting, and which I only consented to go on with to save one portion of the audience from complete disappointment." This confession is at least a candid one. But what is to be of a performer who suffers himself be thought of the discretion to PUSHED" upon the political stage by such silly and visionary Managers as Fife and Headlam, with no better Prompters than son and Charnley Captain Blackett Philipcould expect no other result than the one which we honestly warned him would follow the course he was pursuing; for when did a man appear in front of the curtain on the crowded theatre, with the in stage of a audience already a bad humour. to sustain a principal part which he had never thought of acting, and for which he was totally without being hissed off After all, however, we believe that Captain Blackett was more sinned against than In he plain and homely language who was waited treacherously" him the deputation upon at Capheaton. For the buffets that he has received from friends and foes" for having appeared on that condolence. unlucky" At occasion, we can only express our sincere offer the same time, we beg once more to him a word of advice.
The political hornets by whom he has been most deeply stung pretended to be his friends, and only he became their dupe. We gave him sound counsel, but received contumely in return. Had he listened to the voice reason, his pillow -that friend toreof not now have been studded with thorns. He may rely upon it that Fifes--never contemptible will and grasping clique- nominate the the Headlams and be permitted to any man, whether a resident or a stranger, to represent this great, high -spirited, and independent Borough. We, therefore, trust he will never again listen to the voice of the Deceivers, or, for the mere sake of gaining a few stray votesas on the occasion of the last contest-avow that his objections to the 66 organic change" of the Ballot, since he had shook hands and conversed with the pestilent Radicals of Newcastle, were less fixed than character previously.
This was a unworthy of the high of Captain Blackett, and one of which, we are confident, he sincerely repents. As regards the Captain, we would fain let 66 by-gones be but we are constrained to make this passing allusion to the circumstance from its having been cruelly turned to his disadvantage by his recent political associates. But one more, and that the most important, point in Captain Blackett's letter, remains to be briefly noticed. He admits that, at the time of the last election, the only questions of immediate italics are Captain political importance were those which related to Ireland, and on which the existence of the present Ministry appeared to depend." After this, it is to be hoped there will be no dispute on the merits of the recent Election and if further it teaches wisdom to Captain Blackett, political honesty to Mr. Fife, and moderation to Dr.
Headlam, more good and useful purposes will have been answered by it than were at first contemplated. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. The Bishop of Durham held Confirmations at the Cathedral in Durham on Monday; at Bishop- Wearmouth, on Tuesday; and at South Shields. on Thursday. The Hon.
Captain Liddell, of the Scots Fusileer Guards, fourth son of Lord Ravensworth, is appointed first aide-de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The new Church at North Shields, being now nearly ready for Divine Worship, was consecrated by the Bishop of Durham on Thursday. The foundation stone of this handsome edifice was laid two years ago by Lord Prudhoe. brother of the Duke of Northumberland. The Bishop of Durham will attend at Morpeth on Monday, for the purpose of holding a Confirmation on Wednesday, at Ponteland, and Newcastle (for the town parishes); on Thursday at Newcastle for the country parishes; and on Friday at Ryton, and Chester-le-Street.
The confirmations for the northern and western parts of Northumberland and or the west and south-west of Durham, will not take place till next year. There is every prospect of a Church being built in the village of Tynemouth. The Commissioners for the Building of new Churches have expressed a desire to aid the object, and there can be no doubt that the owners and occupiers of property within the district will do that which becomes them, in so beneficial and desirable a matter. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, High Steward of the University of Cambridge, has presented the noble donation of £100 towards the re-building of St. Andrew's Church, in that town, expressing his desire that it may be applied to the purpose of providing free seats for the use of the Poor.
The Parliamentary Register of Votes for the Northern Division of Durham is now undergoing a wholesome purgation in the Revising Barristers' Courts. At Gateshead and Chester-le-Street, despite the presence of Lord Durham's Agents, the advantage is signally in favour of the Conservative party. The Directors of the Durham and Sunderland Railway commenced running their passenger carriages to from Ryhope, on Wednesday last as soon as a suflicient and number of vehicles are ready, they purpose extending their to Haswell, Hetton, and Pittington, as far as the Railway is completed, which is within three miles of the journeys city of Durham.

The luckless Coal-owners, therefore, who should put faith in honest Joseph, would find his political economy like a two-edged sword, cutting both they would slaughter the goose for the golden ways egg with a vengeance.
The combination is bitterly denounced, as if it embraced all the Coal-owners, not only of Northumberland and Durham, but of all England, Scotland, and Wales, and gave the law of prices and production every where. It appears, on nevertheless, the face of the Report itself, that out of forty-seven Collieries on the Tyne, six are not included in the regulation. On the Wear, those of Haswell, Urpeth, and Monk- Wearmouth, have not entered; on the Tees, out of sixteen Collieries, nine only have joined. Out of the district, not one Colliery in the whole empire is affiliated in it. An association is surely competent to the exercise of all rights to which an individual, or the members in their individual capacity are entitled.
If the whole mineral wealth of these Counties centred in one individual alone, or in, a company of individuals, would the power of dealing as they listed with their own be denied to them? Would they be indicted at common law for raising prices, or, if so they willed, holding back supplies? Sensible people might imagine we in these queries, fencing with swadows -that we are, raise ghosts for the mere pleasure of laying them. It is no such thing we have foes of flesh and blood enow to combat without running a-muck with Quixote at windmills. We are dealing with the sober fooleries 'of addle-headed legislators, and the crazy conceits of unweildy Cocknies, bloated and bursting with green fat and venison pasty, lavishly supplied out of corporation stock.

Coal proprietors, by thus combining to prevent Coals being brought cheaper to market, do not subject themselves to Penalties.
May we ask these Solons with all humility, whether the associated Coal-owners do really interfere, vi et armis, to block up the sea and markets to their non-associated and independent brethren here, or to their Welsh, Scotch, York, Stafford, Lancashire, and Somersetshire competitors elsewhere? The Commons' Committee are, however, fairly out-heroded by the Common Council Coal Committee.

an unconscionable set of rogues and vagabonds, and make place for honest men, who will swill less of the substance of the poor, and be content to earn their bread by the sweat of their brows, as we do here. We'll make the place so hot that Harlequin Charley Pearson will be fain to betake him to his old quarters in Banco regis, little Wire be glad to compound by playing Punch in a puppet show for our diversion, for which three feet admirably qualify him, and the rest of the nothing so guzzling fraternity shall be rigged out with new brooms, and set to sweep the crossings of the streets. The lowlived hucksters and gin shop keepers will indict their betters and masters for a conspiracy, will they? Only to look at the dingy crew when congregated in Court! Our Noble Pitmen doff their sable hues day by and after their labours in a fair and clean day, sleep skin--these Common Councillors perform their ablutions and cast their slough but once a week, or not all the world may see. The concrete mass so often, as feasting, all belly and no members, would of pampered the natural way, of sheer exhaustion, to a perish in and not a vestige of the race be found in our man, were not new blood infused into the degeneration, crepit body by alliance of their wives and daughters with the lusty and manly sons of the North. And these are the puny things that dare talk of indictments for conspiracy against their benefactors and creators! Foregad, were it not for the poor and unoffending citizens, whose pottage and birthright they consume in their orgies, we would e'en let the battered crew die off this winter of sheer cold, and not furnish them with so much as a pan of Coals to revivify their shaking limbs after a corporation debauch.
On what do these diverting rogues found their most it may be enquired? Why on the evidire intents, of Mr. John Zachary Dyer, a Coal Merdence chiefly chant, examined before the Commons' Committee. that the supply of Coal This gentleman was to prove and than it ought, to be. He is was less than it used, asked whether the regulation, not of the Coal-owners, but of the Factors, tended to facilitate the supply, or to interfere with the supply?" His answer was, 66 the supply has not been so large in the market, in my 39 Our readers will have seen, by statements published by the same Committee, that the supply under the regulation was upwards of 600,000 Tons more in 1835 than 1834, and by comparison with preceding years, the excess, as we could shew, was greater still so much for the opinion" of this intelligent witness. It is only fair, however, to add, that he gives the coup de grace to himself subsequently, with the most commendable ingenuousness.
For to the query, if he found any difficulty in obtaining the quantity of any kind of Coals he he replies, without hesitation-I never found any difficulty. So much for Mr. John Zachary Dyer. Here we must for the present conclude. In our next, we shall discuss the question of price, and the late advance of price, upon which we may bring some interesting facts to bear.
In the meantime, when the Commons' Committee and the Common Council Coal and Corn Committee (what a curious agglomeration of C's) shall have consulted and combined, and commanded the indictment for conspiracy and the actions for penalties, we shall take leave to represent to them, in terms of the utmost possible veneration and regard for authorities so truly impartial and august, that to borrow the energetic, expressive, and, in a case, such almost pardonable language of our hardy seamen, one of whom, when the circumstance was related to him, hitched his inexpressibles, and with an air of inup effable contempt, exclaimed-" They may sue, and indict, and be The Money Market continues still drooping in the face the supply derivable from the October Diviof dends, amounting to several Millions.

Portuguese five per which sometime ago were 100, and scarce at that, may be had now, ad linearly bitum, at 49. Lord Palmerston in a rage his Lordship is not, we hope, a holder--has dispatched 1,000 marines and some more ships of war to the Tagus, to make another revolution in prices and politics. In our next, if nothing more important presents itself, take a review of Foreign Affairs. The we propose to intelligence and spirit which two or three years ago use to preside over that department in the 66 Times," and for which it was equally distinguished as for the surpassing talent which presides over its domestic policy, appears to have entirely abandoned it, or to have quite itself.
The 66 Morning Herald," with its unspent foreign correspondence, appears to have no equalled one at the helm capable of duly appreciating and generalizing upon it. On Spanish affairs, our esteemed conthe 46 Morning Post," seems quite at home temporary, in details; we wish it was equally so in grasping the The Bells of St. Mary's Church, Gateshead, announced the arrival of the Right Hon. 1 Ravensworth and suite at Ravensworth Castle, with several merry peals, on Saturday last. A Hare was seen running at a rapid rate, along Percy-street, in this town, on Sunday last between the hours of twelve and one o'clock.
It was afterwards observed in Mosley-street, from whence it made its way into Deanstreet, where it was killed. A beautiful full-grown White Hare was shot on Friday last near Whalton, by James Dunn, Esq. It has been preserved, and is now in the collection of Mr. John Huntington Dawson, of Rosemary-lane, in this town, to whom it was presented by Mr. Dunn.
Yesterday (October 21) was the anniversary of the glorious Battle of Trafalgar, which was fought under the immortal Nelson in 1805, thirty one years ago. The Rev. Wm. Hutchinson, nephew of the Rev. A.
Hutchinson, of Warenford, Northumberland, was elected last week, after a keen competition, to the church and parish of Catrine Presbytery of Ayr. As Lieut. Hawdon was walking, on Wednesday morning last, on the New Road. near Morpeth Castle, a fine Fox crossed within a short distance of him, pursued by a Cur Dog; the Lieutenant immediately gave chace, and, after a short run, caught poor Reynard by the brush, and brought him home alive in triumph. The Fox has since been forwarded to Mr.
Boag, of Blagdon. Robt. Simpson, Esq. of North Shields, has received the appointment, by a large majority, of Auditor of the Tynemouth Union of Parishes. Two of his Majesty's Ministers, Mr.
C. Poulett Thomson, President of the Board of Trade, and Mr. E. J. Stanley, one of the Secretaries of Treasury, are rusticating in Northumberland.
They were both present at the Etal Till Side games last week. The Board of Guardians of the Castle Ward Union held their third meeting at Ponteland, on Monday last. when Mr. James Robson, of Whorlton, was elected Auditor, Mr. Robert R.
Dees, of this town, was unanimously elected Clerk and Mr. Proctor Shotton, was appointed Relieving officer for Ponteland District, Mr. George Crow, for Stamfordham District, and Mr. William Pickering for Newburn District. ST.
NICHOLAS' meeting of the Municipal Electors of this Ward, convened by Mr. Alderman Potter in compliance with a requisition, was held at the Dolphin Inn, Close, yesterday evening. The object of the meeting was, to fix upon two candidates, to be recommended to fill the situation of Town Councillors for that Ward, in lieu of Mr. John Nichol and Mr. George Boyd, who go out by rotation.
Four Gentlemen were proposed to the meeting, the names of whom were written down, and the decision taken by each elector present making a tick opposite the name of the candidate whom he was desirous to support. The names and numbers are as follows Mr. J. Nichol, Side 21. H.

Thomas Grey, tobacconist Mr. Nichol, we need scarcely add, is at present in the Town Council, and has shewn himself to be an intelligent and independent man. SCENE AT THE appeal by Mr. Ralph Carnaby, a publican in Gallowgate, against a conviction of the magistrates excited some interest at our Sessions, in consequence of an expectation that the power of the magistrates to prevent the public-houses being opened at an early hour on Sunday mornings would come in question. The case turned, however, on another point, and the conviction was supported by evidence that the appellant had not kept good order in his house.
Our old and amiable acquaintance, Mr. Grainger, was Counsel for the appellantnothing of any public interest arose out of the case, but our reporter took down the following somewhat piquant passage in the cross-examination of one of the witnesses, who had described the state of inebriety in which some of Mr. Carnaby's guests wereMr. GRAINGER, (to the not looking at a drunken man make you drunk? The Witness made a reply in a feeble tone, which was not audible. Mr.

Lord Brougham, accompanied by his daughter, arrived at Auckland Castle last Thursday week, on a visit to the Bishop of Durham. His Lordship left on Saturday for Newton House, Yorkshire, the seat of the Duke of Cleveland; from whence he intended proceeding to London to join Lady Brougham. We understand that his Lordship looks very grey; but that he is in good health and excellent spirits. While at Auckland he expressed his intention to have a fair start" in the next Session of Parliament. That hopeful young gentleman, Mr.
Edward Ellice, whom Dr. Headlam and a certain lumbering Bookseller, arranged, in the back-shop, to palm upon the independent inhabitants of Newcastle as their Representative, undertook last week, at a public dinner given at Cupar, to return thanks in behalf of his relative, the Earl of Durham, whose health was drank, and amongst other silly things, said, that he hoped to see that Noble Lord an eminent and active member of the present government, pushing forward measures in accordance with the principles he promulgated at Glasgow." The public may well exclaim, where will folly and indiscretion end. Mr. Edward Ellice, cannot be ignorant of the fact, that such is the character of Lord Durham's temper, and bearing that no man of the least influence or standing will act with Him, and further, that in the present state of the public feeling, no ministry would dare to bring forward such revolutionary measures as were propounded by that haughty and disappointed Nobleman to a drunken mob at Glasgow. BUMP-OLOGY Alderman Justice Fife, a few days ago, steamed-it all the way to Carlisle, where he treated the Members of the Mechanics' Institute with a lecture, described by our Carlisle contemporaries as 66 very interesting." Considering that the edifying discourse was explanatory of the crude notions entertained by Mr.
Alderman Justice Fife on the senseless theory of Craniology, the words very interesting" convey no small portion of censure under the ironical garb of praise. The wicked Editor must have been aware that the Crazy Bumpologist's love of approbation" is so largely developed as to resemble a ripe Pumpkin; and that the organ of Vanity" in his person is greater than the most enormous Prize Turnip ever exhibited at an Agricultural Meeting. These extraordinary organs may not appear on the exterior; but it must be remembered that the peculiar conformation" of Mr. Fife's cranium is underneath the learned Professor's skull. Those who have not, like ourselves, paid attention to the CC science" in which Mr.
Fife is such an adept--the real name of which is not Crani but Crazy-ology-may be disposed to doubt our assertion. We venture, nevertheless, to re-assert, as a curious Physiological fact that, if an examination of Mr. Alderman Fife's head could be made, the interior cavity usually filled with brains, would be found nearly occupied by the two bumps we have mentioned. Mr. Henry Hylton Taylor, of Seaton Sluice, Northumberland (late of the Sunderland Infirmary), has been duly admitted a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and Licentiate of the Honourable Company of Apothecaries, London.
It will be seen by an advertisement in another column that it is intended to publish almost immediately, in a cheap and popular form, The Tales and Sketches of the late lamented James Hogg. the Ettrick Shepherd." We have seen a specimen of the Engravings, with which the work will be embellished, and scruple not to pronounce them exceedingly beautiful. The whole appearance of the publication is highly attractive. THE BURGESSES AND THE OF give, in another column, a sketch of the proceedings in the Revising Barristers' Court, held here yesterday. To the Burgess List of Voters there were thirty-six objections, every one of which was taken by the Whig- Radicals.
The Conservatives, to their honour be it recorded, made no effort to deprive a single Burgess of his vote. This intelligent class of men will do well to remember the fact at the next Election. SERIOUS ACCIDENT DISGRACEFUL STATE OF THE have before had occasion to condemn, in no measured terms, the disgraceful condition of the pavement in many parts of our streets, caused by the culpable neglect of those who superintended the laying down of pipes for the New Water Company. One of these break-neck street ravines ocours in Pilgrim-street, opposite the entrance to Bell's Court, where, we regret to add, a serious accident occurred on the evening of Monday last, to George Forster, an industrious carpenter, residing in Manor Chair, and in the employ of Mr. Edward Gibson.
The unfortunate man slipped and fell down, by which accident his leg was frac. tured and passengers daily, nay almost hourly, narrowly escape being maimed from the same cause. Had the pavement been in a dangerous state to passengers from any other cause than the one we have named, long paragraphs, full of indignant remonstrances, would have weekly occupied the columns of the Mercury. As it is, however, the oncevigilant observer of the state of sewers, flags, and pavements is dumb. Poor Forster has a wife and two children and it would be no more than just and reasonable if the well-paid Secretary of the New Water Company was compelled to give up such a portion of his salary as would afford the unfortunate man and his family a decent maintenance.
A correspondent asks if he has not grounds for an action at law We think he has, and hope that steps will be taken bring the Company to a proper sense of what is due to the public safety. The nuisance of broken pavements in ail parts of the town has become really intolerable. FIRES IN Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, a Fire was discovered in the ware-room of Mr. Corbett, hosier, corner of Mosley-street and Pilgrim-street. On alarm being given the engines of the Old Newcastle and the North British Fire Offices were speedily on the spot, and the latter was set in operation from a water-plug nearly opposite the premises.
By this means the fire was soon got under, although not without considerable damage to the stock, the amount of which had not been ascertained when we went to press. The warehouse in which the fire originated is situated over the shop of Mrs. Jefferson, straw hat maker. It is supposed to have been communicated through the inadvertence of a boy, whilst lighting the gas. Previous to the firemen of the various engines having retired, an alarm was brought by a police constable, that a second fire had broken out in the premises of Mr.
Pearson, butcher, corner of the Quayside. 'The firemen belonging to the Newcastle Company ran and immediately laid hold of their engine, and conducted it. without the aid of horses, to the front of Mr. but Pearson's premises. Theother engines speedily followed, it was not found requisite to use any of the machines.
It appeared, on examination, that a wonden pillar, to which a gas-pipe was attached had, from some cause, been burning, but not in a state of flame, for some time, it being consumed to the depth of eight or ten inches. Smoke was at length seen to issue from the trellis-work over the shop front, and immediately after the gas-pipe burst, and caused an explosion--but not a serious one, as neither person or property was materially injured. GREAT CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT LIVERPOOL. -The first anniversary dinner of the Liverpool Tradesmens' Conservative Association took place on Tuesday last, in the magnificent Amphitheatre of that town. The preparations for this constitutional gathering were on the most magnificent scale, and more than 800 gentlemen partook of the banquet.
Samuel Holme, officiated as Chairman, and amongst the distinguished company at the principal table were Lord Sandon, Hon. C. J. Canning, M.P., Hon. J.
S. Wortley, Hon. R. B. Wilbraham, M.P., Sir Thomas Brancker, John Entwistle, Esq.
M.P., and W. E. Gladstone, Esq. M.P. The speeches were of received the highest order.
late We cannot properly give a report, only at a hour yesterday, but we shall again refer to this important festival. During the evening the Hon. C. J. Canning announced his intention, amidst deafening cheers, of allowing himself to be put in nomination at the next election, as a second Conservative candidate, with Lord Sandon.
Lord and Lady Falkland and the Earl and Countess of Erroll have arrived on a visit to their relatives, Lord Frederick and Lady Augusta Fitzclarence at Etal House, near Wooler. The Earl of Tankerville has introduced a noble pack of Stag Hounds into Northumberland. They will throw off during the season in the the neighbourhood of his Lordship's splendid residence, Chillingham Castle, near Wooler, and the revival in the north of this fine old English Pastime is highly appreciated by the resident gentry as well as the public at large within the district. The new Church recently erected at Cresswell at the sole expence of Addison John Cresswell Baker, of Cresswell House, and munificently endowed by that gentleman, was consecrated yesterday by the Bishop of Durham, on which occasion his Lordship held a Confirmation. Salmon Fishing in the river Tweed, and the rivers and streams running into the same, closed last Saturday.
The eke this season is considerably less than last year, and the far Are is attributed to the destruction of fish during the spawning season. A partial Eclipse of the Moon will take place on Monday next: but it will he invisible in this kingdom. Not only is the death of Mrs. O'Connell hourly expected, but Mr. O'Connell's eldest son, Maurice, labours under a severe, perhaps dangerous, malady.
Anne Parker, the widow of 66 Admiral" Parker, who was hung for the Mutiny at the Nore, is now a pauper in the workhouse of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, London, and is stone blind. The farmers in the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire are asking £8 a ton for Hay at present, a price unknown since the war. The Yorkshire Collieries advanced the price Coals six weeks ago 4d. per ton, and this month they have again made Is.
an advance of 4d. per ton-8d. per ton is equal to about per Newcastle chaldron. The Living of Beverley Minster, Yorkshire, recently put up to sale by the Council of the Borough, under the provisions of the Municipal Reform Act. has been purchased by the Rev.
Charles Simeon, of King's College, Cambridge, (the head of a society for the extension of Evangelical preaching in the Established Church,) the Archdeacon Stafford, the Rev. W. Carus Wilson, of Kirkby Lonsdale, and the Rev. Carus, of Trinity College, Cambridge. That very wise and sagacious person, the Home Secretary of State, in order to appease his menial troops, the pious and conscientious political Dissenters, has caused it to be promulgated that he designs to fix the ChurchRates, not on the Consolidated Fund, but on the owners and renters of Pews belonging to the Established Church.
We will venture to offer an opinion that the little-minded Secretary will never have the power to carry any such absurd proposition. There is no disposition, just yet, on the part of the people of England to narrow down the Protestant Establishment of these realms to the miserable exclusiveness which characterizes the system of the pious Dissenters. THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF NORTHUMBERLAND AND The first meeting ofthe Session of this Society was held on Monday last, John Adamson, Esq. in the Chair when a paper was read by Mr. Thos.
Richardson (Portland-place), on the Magnesian Limestone of the Coast of the County of Durham. This gentleman, who has already distinguished himself as a chemist, by the discovery of a new chemical base (Donium), detailed his examination of the different varieties of the Limestone the County of Durham. The object. of the paper was determine the chemical composition of the varieties described by Professor Sedgwick, who divides the whole into ten heads, many of which varieties contain in the others, the general proportion of magnesia was found to amount to about 20 per cent. The specific gravity was found to be a good criterion of the value of the limestone as respects the magnesia; for whenever the earth was in a considerable proportion, the specific gravity was never below 28.
Mr. Wm. Cargill, the Rev. J. C.
Bruce, and Mr. Edwd. Bruce, were elected members; one gentleman was proposed for ballot next month and a number presents were recorded as received since the close of the former session. WEST AUCKLAND FAIR AND dinner to commemorate the establishment of the Fair at West Auckland was held on Saturday last. Ninety-eight influential gentlemen of the district partook of the splendid banquet.
Henry Stobart, in the chair. On his right, Joseph Pease, M. on his left, John Fiintoff, Esq. W. L.
Pratman, of Copley Lodge, the Rev. M. Chester, and Theodore Flintoff, Esq-, were the VicePresidents. After the usual loyal toasts, the health of the Hon. Memher for South Durham was drank with great applause, who responded to the compliment.
After prosperity to West Auckland Fair," and the Chairman's good health, (whose conduct in that sitation became a topic praise with every one,) the Rev. J. Tyson, of Merrington, proposed A happy fire-side to the miner, the labourer, the artisan, and mechanic," and spoke with happy effect on a theme that might naturally he supposed to be congenial to the benevolent feelings of a Clergyman. The afternoon was spent in the greatest humour and conviviality; and the conclusion of the proceedings, the Hon. Member for South Durham proposed to give annually at the Fair to held hereafter on the 17th of October in each year, a premium of £1 for the best boar, a premium of £1 for the best pig fed by a miner or labourer, and a premium of £1 for the miner who may have lived in one servitude for the longest period with good character.
ALNWICK SESSIONS' BALL. the Clerk of the Peace of Northumberland, REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT FOR NEWCASTLE. The Alnwick Annual Sessions' Ball was held in the splendid suite of Public Eooms in that town on Thursday evening, and was attended by upwards of three hundred Ladies and Gentlemen, including a great number of persons of the first rank and consideration in the County of Northumberland. Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, accompanied by a large party of noble and distinguished friends now on a visit at Ainwick Castle, entered the rooms soon after nine o'clock, when Dancing commenced, and was kept up with great spirit until three in the morning. The Noble Duke looked remarkably well, his health having greatly improved since his arrival in the North, and during the evening mixed in friendly intercourse with his numerous county friends.
The Duchess was the life of the party, and extended her affability to all around her. The venerable Earl Grey looked erect and in good health, and appeared to enjoy himself exceedingly. Both the Duke of Northumberland and Earl Grey were decorated with their Stars and Garters. The suite of rooms, forming part of a noble erection which was munificently presented to the Town by the Duke of Northumberland, having undergone repair and decoration, looked very imposing, and excited the admiration of all present. We recognised the following amongst the galaxy of fashion, though we by no means profess to give an ample list of the company The Duke and Duchess of Lord and Lady Ravensworth: the High Sheriff and Mrs.

Wm. Darnell and Mrs. and Miss Darnell; The Barristers-Mr. Lutwidge and Mr. Wharton-appointed to revise the List of Voters for the Borough of Newcastle, opened their court for that purpose in the Guildhall yesterday morning.
The Learned Gentlemen agreed to sit together during the first day. After reading their appointment in the usual way they proceeded to examine the Burgess roll, when the following claims were considerad REVISION OF THE BURGESS LIST. MR. JOSEPH REED WILSON. This claim was disallowed by the Barristers on their revisal last year, on the ground of non-residence.
It was renewed this year, and supported by Mr. Cram, who called Mr. John R. Wilson, the father of the claimant, from whose evidence it appeared that the claimant was the Travelling Agent of a Society established in London for the promotion of Sunday-school Unions; that he was compelled, by the nature of his engagement, to attend in London during the anniversary of the Society, and at other times was entirely under its direction. This being considered as not a residence within the meaning of the act, the claim was again disallowed.
The Hon. THOMAS LIDDELL, of Ravensworth Castle, was objected to on account of non-residence within the terms of the Act. The Steward of Lord Ravensworth appeared to prove that, during the time Mr. Liddell resided at the Castle, he had apartments to himself, and that he had no other residence. Claim allowed.
The Hon. GEORGE LIDDELL, another son of Lord Ravensworth. and whose case was somewhat similar to the above, also sncceeded in establishing his right to be registered as a voter. Capt. BELL, who resides at Woolsington with his brother, Matthew Bell, Esq.
M.P. (except when abroad) and has no other place of residence, also had his claim allowed. The case of Mr. RICHARD HODGSON, of Benwell-house, (brother of John Hodgson Hinde, Esq. M.P.) was next called.
It appeared that Mr. Hodgson is a member of the Inner Temple, and is frequently in London and when there, he occupies apartments at a weekly rent. The claimant has been in various parts of the country during the last year, but was in the neighbourhood of Newcastle more than six months during the period between 31st July, 1835, and 31st of July, 1836. Itwas objected that his residence in London disqualified him according to the provisions of the Act. Case ordered to stand over till to-morrow morning (this day, Saturday).
Mr. THOMAS HODGSON'S case was next called. The claimant, who is also a brother of the independent Alember for Newcastle, proved that he has resided at Benwell-house during the last three or four years. The house was taken jointly between himself and brother. Claim allowed.
Mr. M. BURNUP, Jun. The evidence of this case was not satisfactorily made out, on account of the absence of the claimant himself, who is at sea. It was, therefore, ordered to stand over, to give the claimant's friends an opportunity of adducing further proof.
Mr. CHARLES held RICHD. BURNUP, in Land Surveyor. -The claimant has two apartments the Arcade, in one of which he has been in the habit of sleeping for nearly three years. The other apartment was used as an office.
A servant, who waited on him, proved the fact of his having slept there regularly for the last three years. The claim was allowed. Mr. EDWARD This gentlemen resides with his father at Chirton, which is within the boundary, but he is sometimes absent in London. The facts of the case are similar to those of Mr.
Richd. Hodgson, and it was likewise ordered to stand over till the next day. Mr. JOHN off by consent. Mr.
M. DOBSON was unopposed. Claim allowed. Mr. CHAS.
CHARLTON FORSTER not being a resident withiu the meaning of the Act was struck off. In the cases of Mr. BENJ. GREY, Mr. JOHN PARKER, and Mr.
E. H. MASON the objections were withdrawn, and the claims consequently allowed. Mr. HENRY MASON lives on the Shields Road, about half a mile within the seven mile stone.
The house is about 150 yards from the road. The question in this case was whether or not his place of residence was within the distance prescribed by law. It was ordered to stand over in order to allow time to assertain the fact by measuring the distance, there being 110 evidence to shew from what point the admeasurement of the seven miles commenced. Mr. JOHN STEWART and Mr.
STEPHEN STEWART. Both these votes were allowed. The consideration of the remaining cases of objections in the Burgess List was then posponed till the next day, and the Learned Gentlemen proceeded with the Township Lists. TOWNSHIP OF HEATON. Mr.
GEO. JOHNSON claimed for houses in High Hill, he being part owner of Heaton Colliery, and rated to the relief of the poor. The entry in the Overseers books was houses -twenty It was decided on referring to the act that for the purposes of voting the Barristers had the power of attaching lands and houses, or houses and lands together, their joint rental being a legal qualification, but that they had not the power of adding house to house or land to land. The claim was in consequence disallowed. TOWNSHIP OF WESTGATE.
The overseers' objections were taken first, and several voters struck from the list. Mr. JACOB GREY has occupied a house in Blenheim-street since May, before which time he was rated in the parish of All Saints. He entered the premises in All Saints' parish in July last year, but the August rate was made out to the previous occupier, and when the overseer called, the rection was made in pencil. It was objected that.
as the rate was not made out in the name of the claimant when signed by the magistrate, he was not legally rated according to the time specified in the Vote disallowed. The Court then adjourned till this morning at ten o'clock, when the remainder of the Freemen's Cases are appointed to be heard. Several complaints were made during thecourse of the day on account of the parties not appearing themselves when their evidence might have been of very considerable consequence in deciding upon matters of fact. It was observed by both the Barristers that on no previous occasion in this town were there so many of the voters adsent, they being represented by persons who were generally ignorant of the material facts.

APPEAL CASE- PUBLIC HOUSES. Ralph Carnaby, the occupier of a public-house known by the name of the Yellow Doors, in the Close, appealed against a convietion of the magistrates of this town, under which he was fined for keeping a disorderly house on the morning of Sunday, Aug. 7. The facts were given in a former number of this paper. During the hearing of the information before the Magistrates, evidence was given to shew that the company in Mr.
Carnaby's house on the morning stated were disorderly, and that the house had been opened for the entertainment of company before seven o'clock, in defiance of an order of the Magistrates for the regulation of public houses, which set forth, amongst other things, that such houses should not be open for the entertainment of company before seven o'clock on Sunday mornings. The power of the Borough Magistrates to make such an order, Mr. Carnaby, acting under the advice of Mr. Stoker, his solicitor, disputed. Mr.
Carnaby therefore opened bis house before seven o'clock on a subsequent Sunday morning, and was again summoned to answer a similar information. In this second case, pending the present appeal, the Magistrates did not convict, Mr. Carnaby having again, through his solicitor, avowed his intention of raising the point, as to the legality of the Magistrates' order, at the Sessions. Mr. INGHAM appeared in support of the conviction, and Mr.
GRANGER appeared for the appellant. Mr. INGHAM stated the nature of the circumstances under which the conviction took place, and called a number of witnesses, who proved that on the morning of Sunday, the 7th of between six and seven in the morning, there was a company, to the number of forty, in Mr. Carnaby's house; that they were making a hideous noise, swearing, striking the table, and in one instance quarrelling. The majority of the company were intoxicated, and in one of the boxes were two women of the town.
Mr. Carnaby was present, but did not interfere to keep order, Mr. GRANGER, for the appellant, then said, he had been instructed that the ground of the conviction was, the house having been open before seven on the Sunday morning, the magistrates having come to a decision to consider such an early opening proof of keeping a disorderly house. This regulation, he questioned whether they bad Any right to make; and he observed, that it was a matter of serious importance to many publicans in the neighbourhood of the Close, glassmen and others. who often worked all night, requiring ale at early hours.
The appellant was determined to try the right of the magistrates to make the order alluded to. The RECORDER said the conviction was for not keeping proper order, as laid down in the act of Geo. IV. c. 61.
No mention was made of the hour at which the House was opened, and he therefore decided that the appeal did not meet the terms of the conviction, which he directed to be affirmed. Mr. GRANGER intimated that as long as the question of right was not decided, he did not care much about the conviction--but it was their determination to try that right whenever the question should be raised. The conviction was accordingly declared to be confirmed. There being no other appeal, and the Grand Jury having found a bill, the Court proceeded with the FELONY CASES.
In the case of ROBERT CLARK, charged with larceny, the Grand Jury ignored the bill. The prosecutor, it appeared, has gone to sea, and the Recorder decided that the Grand Jury could not find a bill on the mere confession of the prisoner. accordingly, JAMES RIDDELL was indicted for having stolen a poke of oats, the property of Joseph Wilkinson, of Shield Hill. on the 6th of August. Mr.
INGHAM stated the case. It appeared that the prisoner was observed by George Kirkiey, one of the new police, carrying a poke of oats; judging that there was something wrong, he asked him how he came by it; to this the prisoner answered he had bought it of his brother. The policeman desired him to go along with him and find his brother. They went accordingly, but could not find any such person, and the prisoner was apprehended. His house was searched, and a great quantity of pokes were found, which, being made public, various thefts were brought to light, and, amongst the rest, the one in question.
One of the prosecutor's servants identified the poke to be his master's property. In his defence the prisoner said he did not take the poke with an intention of stealing it. GuiLTy. The same prisoner was then tried on a similar charge, the oats being the property of John Spearman, of Eachwick, and the theft committed on the 28th of May. The facts.
were satisfactorily established, and the jury again returned a verdiet of GUILTY, and the Recorder sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. GEO. WILKINSON pleaded GuiLTy to a charge of having stolen an anvil the property of Robert Ferguson, of the Groat Market, on the 18th of August: but was tried and convicted on a charge of having stoled a steel file, the property of John Storey, of Newgatestreet. The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy.Three months hard labour. PETER M'CORNISH, was tried and ACQUITTED on two charges of stealing first an axe and then a coal-scuttle, the property of his employer, Charles John Close, brick-maker.
The defence was that the articles had been lent to the prisoner by Close. JANE SANDERSON, was also tried and ACQUITTED on two indictments. The prisoner had lived as domestic servant in the house of Mr. Leonard Kabery, of the Sun Inn, Newgate-street. Having had some difference with her Mistress she was turned away, but it was resolved that, previous to her departure, her box should be searched.
A police constable was accordingly sent for, and she produced the key and opened her box in the officer's presence. The resnit of the investigation was that Miss Pawson, a niece of Mrs. Kabery, living in the house, claimed a silk handkerchief as her property, and Mr. and Mrs. Kabery also claimed a piece of ticking, a and a piece of ribbon.
The girl was then given in custody and the two prosecutions instituted. The defence, in both instances was, that the articles belonged to the prisoner. In the truth of these statements the jury concurred, and she was ACOUITTED accordingly on both charges. JESSIE FORDYCE was charged with having stolen a sovereign from the person of John Fleming, on the 20th of July last. Mr.
GREENWOOD stated the case, which briefly turned out to be a common robbery in a house ill fame in Sandgate. GUILTY--To be imof prisoned and held to hard labour for 18 calendar months. JAMES BRAMWELL, was charged with stealing a silver watch from his brother William Bramwell, a lead smelter, residing at Jesmond Burn, on the 27th August last: but as it transpired in evidence that the prosecutor had given him the watch to pawn, the case was dismissed. ELIZABETH GEE was found of having stolen a pair of old shoes, the property of Richard Rateliffe, on the third of September last. A previous conviction was proved against the prisoner, who was found guilty of stealing some linen and other artieles.
To be transported for seven years. ANN CARREGAN pleaded GuILTY to stealing two cotton hand. kerchiefs, a shift, from the kitchen belonging to the gaol in this town, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. JOHN HALBERT was convicted of having obtained, on the 5th August last, one leg and one shoulder of mutton, under false pretenees, from Mr. Robert Mitchinson, The facts were clearly proved; but it appearing that the prisoner, when he got any drink, was liable to lose his recollection, from a blow he had received on his bend, the Recorder passed on him the lenient sentence of fourteen daus imprisonment and hard labour.
HUGH McCULLEN was convicted of having uttered, on the 12th of September last, a half-crown, knowing it to be counterfeit, and also of having two others in his possession, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. ASSAULTSON THE POLICE. THOMAS BRANNAGAN, THOMAS KEGLEY. and WILLIAM CONOLLY, were charged with having assaulted P. C.
William Rutherford, in the discharge of his duty, on Sunday the 31st of July last. Mr. LosH stated the case. As was stated in this paper at the time, the parties were fighting at Byker Fields, when the officer interfered, and got himself severely injured in his endeavour to preserve the peace. The case was fully proved by the testimony of the prosecutor, and others his assistants.
GUILTy-Brannagan, it appeared, had been ont on bail, and the other two had been in custody eleven weeks; Brannagan to be kept to hard labour three calendar months. and Kegley and Conolly one month each. GEORGE KIRKLEY pleaded guilty to committing an assault upon the police, on the 17th October, and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. CHARGE OF A DISGUSTING ATTEMPT. ROBERT SIMPSON was charged with assaulting John Inness, on the 4th of October last, with an intent to commit an unnatural offence.
Mr. GREENWOOD stated the case, and called and examined the witnesses. The evidence is, of course, unfit for publication but the case was fully proved, and the Jury found the prisoner GUILTY. The defence of the prisoner (who has a wife and family) was, that he was intoxicated, and had no recollection of any thing that took place. On passing sentence, the RFCORDER told him that he had been convicted on the clearest possible testimony of an attempt to commit a crime which no man could think of without abhorrence, and which even the law's of this country hardly desig.
nated by any known term. If he proceeded in allowing himself, either in a state of liqour, or when sober, to yield to such an abominable practice, he might rest assured, that his life would pay the penalty to the insulted laws of his country. The sentence for this crime was fixed by act of parliament, to the full extent of which he (the Recorder) would certainly go. He then sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour two years. This closed the business of the Sessions.

Seven Whalers have arrived at their respective ports from Davis Straits, and we regret to say, six of them are clean. The report of the Fishery generally, as given below, is furnished by the masters of the Clarendon and the Caledonia. It will be seen that Captain reports on his arrival that the Newcastle ships were clean on Kerr the 12th of August; it date, would, therefore, appear they have made fishing after that having, it is their understood, with several other vessels, effected a passage through the ice to the Northward Melville Bay. Those vessels reported as clean on the 17th of into had not reached the usual fishing ground, and the September, chances of getting fish after that period are against them and many, we fear, will return from this very uncertain and perilous voyage with ruinous loss to the owners. The winds have been for sometime favourable for the passage across the Atlantic, and the vessels may be daily looked for.
ABERDEEN, Oct. Clarendon, Kerr, of Leith, arrived in this bay yesterday afternoon, Davis' Straits, with one fish, fifteen tuns oil. She bore away from about the latitude of Cape Walsingham, on the 17th ultimo. It will be seen by the following report that up to the time the Clarendon had left Davis' Straits the fishing this season had been a total failure. Captain Kerr represents the ice as being much more formidable than last year, and up to the middle of August, the total impossibility of penetrating it from the Woman Islands North, to Cape Walsingham Sonth.
He did himself (a single ship) And an opening to the Southward, and succeeded in getting in with the West Land, but was under the necessity of returning immediately, and has no doubt that had he continued 24 hours longer, he would have been completely beset. From the time he took the ice, it was almost four weeks before he got clear again. The ships not seen since August were expected to have taken the ice to Northward. The weather was exceedingly boisterous when the Clarendon left the ice. Capt.
