THE CAXTON TESTIMONIAL.
811t,—Kindly permit me, in your pages, to my a
few words with respect to the first steps taken bythe meeting
held last week, at the Society of Arts, on the subject of
erecting a suitable testimonial to the memory of our first
printer. The results of the self-appointment (to select saita
ble memorials) of large and unfit committees, unfit, indeed,
generally, even by the acknowledgment of the individual
, members themselves, have bees so antarally and coatis weedy
I unfortunate, as to have long pointed eat the necessity of
some change in such proceedings, and to make us hail most
cordially a mode, like that carried last Saturday, which at
the outset insures the confidence of the public. Os that oc-
csion a large general committee was appointed to carry out
the general intentions of the imbeariben, and to is on the
general nature of the testimonial. At the same time, however,
in case a work of art may be determined on, a select com-
mittee of five of undoubted knowledge and taste was, for
that particular department, appointed, so as to ensure to
the public that their subscriptions will not be applied to dim •
gracingour metropolis with anther abomination, in addition
to those already erected. This appointment of en adequate
committee of taste, as a first step, is a new feature in
such affairs, and has been called " unprecedented ;"
I believe it is ungenedsated ; and I hope the
result will be unpoessinahod. The small number also
of the committee of GA homely a judicious arrangement.
Where there are mop in such cams, there are many
shoulders on which tartest the weight of opprobrium, and
each individual Maltase himself among his neighbours, but

ELECTION

Bottex.LTn addition to Mr. Peter Ainsworth, in the
tory interest, a requisition is getting up to Mr. Bolling, one
of the representatives of the borough in the last parliament,
bat who war defeated at the general election by Dr. Bow.
sing. On Friday night Dr. Bowring, and Mr. John Brooks,
of Manchester, met the electors In the liberal interest, and,
indeed, the non-electors too, for these were admitted to the
gallery of the Temperance-hall (the building in which the
meeting took plat* , and the proceedings lasted from half-
past seven till nearly eleven o'clock. Dr. Bowring made •
telling speech, and wee received most favourably, indeed
with almost general satidaction by the electors, but the non-
electore were not so readily satisfied, especially the chartists
and ten bonze bill people. The former wanted a pledge for
the "five points," and the latter for the sontinuance of their
newly-obtained meuure. Dr. Bowring end that, though he
had not agreed in the policy of that measure, he would un-
doubtedly, now that it was carried, be willies to let it have
• fair trial; end this promise obtained a round of applause
far him. usual vote was thin put, to the effect that
Dr. Bowring was " a fit and proper puma," and carried
with each a near approach to unanimity, that the learned
gentleman was enabled to say at the conclusion, " there
were three hands held up for the amendment I thank the
three thousand who held up their kends for the original
modem!" Mr. John Brooks, who had come forward, in
answer to • numerously-eigned requisition, then stood for-
ward and addressed the meeting. He said that, during a
long life, he had to • considerable extent practically carried
out (to far es his own work-people especially were concerned)
some of theisrinciplos Dr. Dowries had to well expounded,
byequally viag his aid to all religious denominations, by
promoting ocation, and lending his utmost energies to
promote free trade. The meeting determined almost unani-
mously, and with loud cheers, that Mr. Brooks was a fit
person to represent them in parliament. Bo far as the mu-
rmurs can judge, there is great reason for confidence that
both the liberal candidates will be returned.
DEMEAN CITY.—Mr. (hunger, the sitting member, has
completed a successful canvass. Between his party and the
friends of Mr. Spearman, the new liberal candidate, there is
little cordiality. Col. Wood's position is unaltered; he is
the conservative candidate, without the support of the con-
servative party.
Bunt( Bozons.—Mr. Doff is prosecuting his annum,
but, hie Mr. Pitt, he is feeling the disadvantages of being •
" young man." At Peterhead, his chairmen apologedWly
told the electors that his age was 25. His oratory is reckoned
deficient, or, at all events, inferior to his rival ; but the
number and activity of his electioneering agents ere telling on
the electoral mind.
