The quiet of the town, which has been greater than ever was known at former elections, is wholly ascribed to this circumstance. Afterwards Mr. BROUGHAM delivered a long speech to the p. , ople ;in Clayton-square, in which he detailed the great j events of last Session, and closed with an elaborate panegyrick on the character and principles of Mr. Lot, as contrasted with those of Mr. PITT, whose !immortality he amply commented upon. Lord Ser.. TON and Mr. Roscoe made excellent speeches. The ' concourse was great, and the close of this grand con : test bore every mark of a great and complete triumph to the people.

We taught them orthography at Bunker's-hill, ety mology at Saratoga,' syntax in the Jvrsies, and pro sody at York Towo. If they will come to school again, we can put them through the dead languages." —(iirgus.) BUYING OP GUINEAS.—At the General Quarter Sessions for Newcastle, holden by teljournment on Wednesday and Thursday last, John Rian was tried • under Lord Stanhope's Act, for buying guineas above their current value. It appeared that, he had paid for the guineas in provincial bank-notes ; and though it was held that such a payment came within the m eaning of the Act, viz. paying more than the current value of the guineas, by any means, device, shift, or contrivance, het the particular means which i the Defendant made qse. of not being set forth is the indictment, he could not be convicted.
