The walla of our streets have recently been tarns
-
minted with the letters F.P. I heard two working
men the other day asking each other what thia myste-
rious sign maga, and after a go al many conjectures
they came to the couolueion that it meant "Fishy
Petition."

If their surmises are correct, I do not know of any
symbol more appropriate than this ens to be kept nAi-
stantly before our eyes.

I was very glad to read in the report of the last
council meeting that Mr. Balstan had had an oppor-
tunity to contradict the scandalous, scuntom re4ort•
made shout him in connection with the Ladies' hik-
ing Yield. I stated lest week that the report was •

It would appear that when the Tories undertake to
do anything they Cr. pleased to call great, the various
departments under which they are classed are told off
to their duties, And I must congratulate the members
of a certain department upon having done their duty
most effectively; but I hear that they are now about
to go into training, to become more perfect than they
DOW are. Their aim now is not only to misrepresent,
but to get people to believe them. This is • difficult
task, arid their general of division will find it a very
gams.

FASHIONABLII WIDDINo.—It is sometime since we
were favoured with such • pleasing and pretty I
spectacle at our parish church, as that of Thursday
morning the Bth inst., when the marriage of Miss
Henrietta Rio:some (daughter of Mr. 810 , Isle
of RIM, Dursley, Gloucestershire, and azd: to nute_'
. 4
J. B. Bloxsome, of Grosvenor-road), with Mr.. j•loo
Randall Ford, took dace amid many a:pa...Wong of
public interest. Long before the announced time for '
the ceremony crowds gathered round the church, and
the bells chimed forth a merry peel. When the partyl
arrived the scene in the church was exasedlagly I
picturesque. The officiating clergy were four in '
number, the Rev. E. J. Bloisome assisted by the Rev. I
W. M. Thomas,the rector.the Rev. R. D. Travers and '
the Rev. W. H. Start. The bride's dress was of white
cashmere, trimmed wi,h satin and swandown, bonnet,
with veil orange blase .ms, &c., &c., and she was
t uxterted by her three nieces, the Miaow Bloxsome, '
maids, who wore pale blue cashmere and white
felt hats trimmed with blue, r

I think the public by this tuna do not require fur-
thee esilightenment se to what ia what in this ahady
oboe of business, and the lord of the manor will no
bi ore long tender his haat thanks to the corpora-
tion of Pool*, for taking steps which have compelled
him to beooni, the owner of ten acres of valuable land,
and afforded him the gratification f having done his
duty.

'We have all we want now" is the Cluestophile cry,
which u about as false as all others we bear 1:om our
opponents. Look beck to she minutes of the council
s years ago, and you wills*. a proposition on the
minutes ts the .-ffect this Sir Ivor inset should have
his &tuna os called to the mud 111111111404, and if he did
not abate it, he should be summoned. This was not
acted up to.
