The Press of to-day ear :—" It is too early yet
to mask with any certainty of conservative prospects. All
we know at present is, that they improve day by day. The
conservative connexion in the neat parliament in all proba-
bility will be stronger end more compact, and will be re-
inforced by some eminent rii.ing Went; while the liberal
party most be irreconcilably divided oo long as Lord Pal-
merston's government subsists."
The Lancet would be glad to find that some thirty
or forty medial gentlemen were candidates for seats in the
legislature. "In many lioroughe, if the interests of the resi-
dent medical practitionme wore to be consolidated, there can-
not be • doubt that medics' candidates would be =coastal."
Our contemporary thinks that in Southwark, Lambeth,
Marylebone, Finsbury, and Greenwich, by the hearty co-
operation of the profession, medical candidates might be
miry returned. "We should rejoice," it says, "in seeing
Sir Benjamin Brodie put op for Middlesex in opposition to
the quack patron, Lord Robert Grosvenor."
AN ELECTION SONO or 1660.—A reader of old
broadsides sends us (4 Ortmesui) the following lines, entitled,
`‘ England's Vote for a Free Election and a Free Parlia-

marked of the many @tyke of the poet of our time, it in
needless to my that be is very guiltless of having anything
to do with the plea, which is one of tho Luttrell collection
of broedeides, and must have born written by a Republican,
to the spring of 1660, during the temporary dietatceship of

Great God of Nations, and their Right,
By whose high Auspice Brittain stands
So long, though Srst 'teas built on Sands,
And oft had Rua but for Thy might.
In her own Meieland•stcrms and Seas,
Be present to her now an then,
And let not proud and factious men
Oppose thy will with what they please.
Our Free fall Senate' to be made;
0, put it to the publick voice
To make a legal worthy choice,
Excluding such as would invade
The Commonwealth. Let whom wo name
Have Wisdoms, Foresight, Fortitude,
Be mere with Faith then Face endu'd ;
And sturdy Conscience above Fame.
Such, as not seek to get the Start
In State, by Faction, Power, or Bribes,
Ambition's Bands. But move the Dike
By Virtue, Modesty, Desert.
Such as to Justice will adhere,
Whatever greet ono it offend;
And from the embraced Truth not bend
For Envy, Hatred, Gifts, or Fear.
That by their Deeds will make it known,
Whose Dignity they do sustain;
And Life, State, Glory, all they Min,
Count it Great Brittain's, not their own.
Such the old Bruti, Decil were,
The Cippi, Curtii, who did give
Themselves fur Rome and would not live,
As men, good only for a year.
Such were the greet Caraitli too,
The Fault, Scipio's ; that Mill thought
No work at price enough was bought,
That for their country they could do ;
And to her honour so did knit
As all their Ada were understood
The Sinews of the rublick Good,
And they themselves one mil with it.
These men were truly magistrates;
Three neither practised Force nor Forms,
Nor did they leave the helm in dorms,
And such they ere make happy sates.
