TM Asa has startled some of its readers by its
nememerved advocacy, apropos of the recent Rutland
election, of electoral districts. It does not require •
rigid Conservatism to feel some alarm at the obligors- s
Non of ancient local landmarks, an I the prospect of ;
swim the country parented out into precise divisions,
as regales and unpicturseque as the a.cangemeat of •
bran-new American city. But, like vet/ many apparent
novelties', the principle of electoral dinriots is not
altogether without the sanction of antiquity. There
are probably many members of Parliament who are
quite unaware that for hus.dreds of years there hare
been examples 01 country district, of wide extent
sopying the municips' privileges and the Perlis-
meotary franchise of towns. For instance the
very ancient and exceedingly picturesque borough
of Much Wenlock, which from the time of the Edwards
has returned two members to !Trlisueent. Much
Wenlock itself is a mete tiny allege, and
more, even before its majestic abbey wr reduced to
sins. But the borough extends, and has always
extended, over • wile range of surrouuding oountry,
Including large agricultural and miniog villages ten
miles distant. In the extensive tract include] in
this district the inhabitants have from time
Immemorial exercise] the full municipal and electoral
privileges of borough life. There are • few similar
examples. Possibly the most convenient, and certainly
the most characteristicaily. British solution of the
question of clui.ty government and Parliamentary
tranchlee might be found in extending the institutions
of Mach Woulock to other rural district..
When David eh sae pvstilence r atber thro war as •
punishment he was we., for to have churn war was
to have chosen pestilence also. In loot countries years of

Gad now the cholera has kled its tens of thor•lnda.
According to Lord Grassed's, this is literally so, as he
puts down the mortality up to the present time at

rigid of distress occasioned by the epidemic will not
be very popular. There ie not much sentiment evoked
