out-talked and out-walked by well-paid, hard-faced

either don't mean what they say, or don't act up to
their words; and one of two things happens—either
they suffer the man who they believe ought to
be their representative to be disgracefully beaten
by some well-varnished scamp or some wealthy
blockhead, or they permit the man of their choice
to disgrace himself and disgrace them by waving

shameful expenditure. Now, we say, on behalf

community at large, that if the present 10L con-

&ugh of corruption in which they have too long
lain, they cannot expect to retain the constitu-

sickness of sorel a country will insist upon trying
some other system than one which is its shame.

LORD DUNDONALD.

(11111011 •

The great man whose death it has recently been
our painful duty to record was, of all men, the
sailor's best friend, and it was to him that they were
indebted for many of the advantages enjoyed by
them at the present moment. He strenuously
complained, in his wet in the House of Commons,
when representing the electors of Westminster,
of the hardships of unlimited service in the navy
—of the cruelty of harbour duty—of the uncertain
system of rewards—of the exactions for discharge,
even from wounded, disabled, and pensioned sea-
men—of withholding from thessamen their pay until
their return home, and their consequent privations
abroad, and of keeping ships abroad until their
crews had perished. He complained of the custom
of imposing upon the seamen the performance of
unnecessary and vexatious labour, which was a con-
stant source of discontent, and the cause of more
depilation than the violation of all the articles of
war. He complained of the total absence of neces-
sary comforts is naval hospitals such as were allowed
in the army ; of the refusal to admit into those hos-
pitals certain diseases which, during the winter
session, could not be cured at sea ; of the inadequate
supply of medicines to the ships of war. He vo-
ted the system of retaining invalids for har-
ur duty, of which the hardships were greater
than those of active service ; and of permitting
them, aud even compelling them, by means of those
hardships, to reenter the navy when their physical
powers and constitution were wholly decayed ; and
be was ever unremitting, while in public life, in
exposing innumerable other abuses in connexion
with the service, and in improving the condition of
the sailor. He might well be called the sailor's
friend.

THICVOTING IN THE PAPAL STATE& •

The Natialitie of Turin publishes several dee-
patches from Perugia and Ancona, giving an ac-
count of the manner in which the voting has been
carried on. At the former place the enthusiasm
was extreme, and the people en incase proceeded to
the polling booths to give their affirmative votes.
The country people came in headed by their mayors
and curs, and scoompanied by their wives, all
dressed out in their holiday attire. At Ancona
the same animation and eagerness prevails. The
town is completely dressed out in flags
and garlands. Out of 10,000 voters in-
scribed, about 8,000 have come forward,
and the ayes are unanimous. As the women
and young men cannot vote, they have got up ad-
dresses of adhesion, that of the females having
already received 3,000 signatur.s. In the province
of Viterbo, although occupied by the French, the
voting has taken place at the municipal office. At
Orvieto a column has been erected surmounted by
• figure representing Italy, and ornamented with
portraits of the Emperor, the King of Piedmont,
Cavour, and Garibaldi. At Cotta della Piave, Pe-
giro, 'Urbino, Osimo, Jesie, Recanati, Loreto, Ma-
(firsts, San Benedeto, Pergola, and Sinigaglia, the
same enthusiasm prevailed. The clergy every-
where took a leading part in the proceediugs.

"S DAY.
long characterised
on his civic functions
numbers who aseembled this
procession of Sir W.
were fully equal to any
no one professes great

admiration for the sight, yet from some cause or other,
chiefly perhaps the influence of association, the day
is still a popular holiday. For a November morning
the weather was more favourable than could be
expected. A few rain drops fell at an early period, sad
still more about noon, but u the procession passed on its
way there was nothing to damp the smart attire of
the actors in the pageant. To the greet inconvenience of
men of business Cheapside was crowded at quite an early
hour, and neither omnibuses nor cabs could find
a ready passage. Men and boys laden with ricketty
forms, miss: nied stands, were preparing at every
' corner, and groups of country people, intermingled with
many foreigners, were seen gazing abstractedly around
them. Mr. Punch was pursuing his disgraceful career
at advantageous points. Sham Ethiopians and ballad
singers of every degree of whine or yell, cheap Jacks
In abundance (there was one in St. Paul's-churchyard
who seemed to be doing a thriving business), hun-
dreds of vendors of the penny coloured pictures of the
show, which have never varied within the recollection
of anyone of the present generation ; and in short the whole
tribe of those who seize such an occasion as one to be
tamed to profitable account, were most whiner's in plying
their respective vocations.
The chief feature of the procession was perhaps the pre.
sence and participation of a large proportion of the 20th
Middlesex Rifle Corps and of the Bloomsbury corps. The
former comprises a companyof men engaged in the extensive
establishment of the new Lord Mayor, and one of the
heads of the firms the captain of that company. The
Bloomsbury corps being united with the 20th for
battalion drill, naturally joined in this mark of
respect to his lordship. The presence of the volun-
teers in the procession appeared to gratify the crowd, who
often greeted them with hearty cheers. Of the remainder
of the procession it may be remarked that many of the
flags appear a good deal the worse for their long service ;1
that the mon in armour, although brilliant with polished
steel, and riding on horses caparisoned in variegated
colours, caused more amusement than respect,
as some of them appeared to feel ; and that
the music of the bands, which was really first-rate, greatly
enlivened what would otherwise, after all, have proved a
tedious spectacle.
The Lord Mayor was well received throughout the route,
and acknowledged the public demonstrations of respect by
frequently bowing to the spectators.

One of the "six ancient knights" rendered himself 101111 r
what oonapicuous on his way to Guildhall to join the pro-
cession. He bad reached the City side of Blackfriane
bridge in safety, when by some mishap his horse
slipped, and be was dismounted. Happily he sus-
tained no personal injury, but in hie descent his
beardless chin became bereft of the sham whiskers used in
" nuking up " for the occasion. This caused considerable
amusement among the pedestrians who were wending their
way to sec the " sight."
