17.E.N. (my Itender;.—What do you intend to do with
" Old Tom," of Womble

In country circles, a belief obtains that the mysterious
second column of the Zeiss is a vehicle by which alienated
statesmen, desiring reconciliation, communicate with each
other in a language not " undeistanded of the common
people," and put out feelers without attracting tho
notice of society. This shrewd suspicion will be wonder-
fully confirmed by the remarkable announcement we have
quoted. Who is ' Old Toni of Grenoble" and what is
"B. E. N. (my Premier)" expected to do with him or for
him F and why should "E. W." be so wonderfully con-
cerned for his fate If " Old Tom," like Hamlet, lacks
advancement, and looks for it from B. E. N. (my
Premier)," we do not wonder at his urgency; fur the
Prime Minister's time is short.—Daily New..

THE ELECTION " SCREW " IN BLACKBURN.—
The following circular, says the Maticheater Arnminer,
has just been privately sent to all the tory millowneni,
managers, overlookers, and tradesmen in Blackburn :
" Blackburn, October 12, 1804. Dear sir,—At a very
influential meeting of the conservative party, held at
the Registration Rooms, Clayton-etreet, on the Bth
instant, for the purpose of making arrangements for
securing the return of Messrs. Wm. Henry Hornby
and Joseph Fielden as the representatives of the parlia-
mentary borough at the ensuing election, the gravity
and importance of the crisis iu our national
history at which the election occurs was very
prominently referred to, and it was decided that all
millowners, and their managers and overlookers, and all
master tradesmen and others pommeling influence, should
be strongly urged to exert that influence so as to
secure, in the municipal elections, as well as in the
parliamentary, the success of the candidates who adhere
to the constitution in church and state—the con-
stitution under which the people of this eoutry enjoy
freedom and security to a greater extant thank' enjoyed by
any other nation under the sun—and who are opposed to
the levelling principles, demoralising in tendency, which
would make Christian England a godless nation, undermine
the stability of the throne and the security of property,
and hasten on an era of anarchy and misrule. Believing
that you know and appreciate the blessings, temporal and
religious, secured in this country by the constitution
which is at the present time so violently threatened by
unscrupulous politicians, we venture to urge upon you
most strongly the necessity of personal vigorous effort, to
ac cure the return, as town councillors, of gentlemen who
hold, with reelect to tuitional po!itiea, constitutional
principles', and the return to parliament of our two known
end tried representatives, Mows. W. H. Hereby and
Jets. Fielden.- Signed en behalf of the meeting,—Wm.
Harrison (chairman), James 'Thompson. Won. Ify.
Herlihy, jun., R. 11. Hutchinson, Wm. Coehlington."
