friends, conveying his warmest thanks "for the generous
and hearty support" they have given him during his
present canvass. It is the opinion that there will be a
close contest between Mr. Chapman and Mr. Hamilton.
BATH. —The Bath Cbronicle says :—"There are many
in this city who were hopiug that Bath would escape the
worry and turmoil of a contest, and that the Liberal
party would be content to allow the Conservatives to
replace Mr. Way by Colonel Hogg. We are assured,
however, that they have no such pacific intentions.
They are resolved that the Conservatives shall again
fight for the seat which they won six years ago, and,
with this view, we are told that they have invited Col.
1 Pinney, the present H. P. ter Lyme Regis, who is re-
tiring from that quiet little borough, for reasons which
he has not explained, to stand for this city with Mr.
Pits-"

LORD PALICIRSTON.—The Morning Post has contra- I
dieted the report of the intended retirement of Lord
imairi Palmerston. Nevertheless, in all veil-inforrned quarters

Seeerally understood that,at the elate of the session,our
*alterable Premier will retire from the administration.
.Ithas !seen stated in some of our contemporaries that
eell will be the person chosen to form a Liberal
' . We are in a position to Ray that this is not
a ass. ; but that Earl Granville, the noble President
the Connell, will be the Premier, and that, as far as
potedbla, the present Ilaasabare of the Government will
retain office.. 'IL' ." '.' ' ' I '

NSTER.—Captain Grammy hie replied in
temper to the medicel heresy charge, which
in brought against him in the &dimes of the
and which that journal considered was fatal to
(lief= to be the representative of Westminster in
coming House of Parliament. The heretioal captain

and candidate says, in a letter addressed to the Morning
Post A gentleman of the name of Tweedie, a &rotor
of medicine, has, with two of Ids own, published a short
note of mine in the Lancet, and the correspondence to
accompanied by an article in that valuable journal, frosts
which it appears that, under pain of being allowed
to bleed to death for want of orthodox medical
assistance in the Westminster election, I am to
denounce homcepathy as a dangerous and damned:4n
bereay, and promise to do all I can to pre-
vent its future practice in her Majesty's dominions.
As, according to the Lancet, the medical profession is
in the act of pausing for a reply, and as, moreover, It is
premptory in the demand that inch reply shall be im-
mediate and final, perhaps you will allow me in your
columns to state that I have no bias in favour of any
particular variety of medical practice, but that,
firmly attached to the principles of liberty, I tipbletiol
every man's right to his own opinion, and to a practical
expression of it as far as is consistent with the law. I
am therefore resolutely opposed to anything like per-
secution arising from differences of opinion, whether la
religious, political, or scientifie matters." Captain
Grosvenor has been regarded by some as a sort of Lord
Dundreary, but a man who can reply in such a strain to
such an absurd accusation ram that brought against his
by Dr. Tweedie must have sterling stuff in him. May
his shadow never grow less!
