DEATH OF COLONEL- I
3 11110B1).

____ , -

It is our painful duty to announce the decease of the
well-known Colonel Sibthorp, member for Lincoln. The
name of the gallant Colonel has long been a household
word as the embodiment of honest but unreasoning Tory
prejudice ; down to the very last he showed himself a
politician of the extinct school of Lord Eldon and the
late Duke of Newcastle, whom he thoroughly revered,
and consequently, in these days of divided parties and
allegiance, he found himself as frequently opposed to
the great Conservative party as the late Frederick Lucas
to his Liberal allies. The deceased gentleman was de-
scended from an ancient family settled upwards of a
century and a half at Canwick.hall, near Lincoln,
many of whose membere from time to time have repre-
sented that city in Parliament. His father, the late Mr.
Humphry Waldo Sibthorp, sat for several years at
the commencement of the present century. His son,
Charles Dalaet Waldo Sibthorp, was first elected in
the high Tory interest in 1826, and with the exception
of the brief Parliament of 1833.4, chosen under the ex-
citement consequent upon the passing of the Reform Bill,
he continued to represent Lincoln to the day of his death.
The Colonel's iufiuence was great among the registered
electors, upwards of 1,300 in number, consisting of free-
men resident and non-resident ; but it did not extend so
far as to be able often to secure the second seat for a Tory
friend, the predilections of the constituency being rather
personal towards himself than based on any political
grounds. Thus, although Col. Sibthorp could generally
reckon on the support of some 600 voters, and in conse-
quence was usually returned at the head of the poll, in
1835 and 1837 he was unable to prevent the then Radical
Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer from being chosen as his col-
league, while in 1847 Mr. Charles Seely and in 1848 Mr.
Thomas notihouse were elected against Tory candidates,
and Mr. G. F. Hereage aecnred the second seat at the
general election in 1852. Once, and once only, did the
gallant Wooers good fortune fail him, and that was,
when a majority of 83 dis-
e have said, in 1833, i
paslaCved him to make room for Sir E. Bulwer. The gal-
lant Colonel was born, we believe, in 1782, and in 1813
married Maria, daughter of the late Mr. Ponsonby Tot-
tenham, many years M.P. for the borough of Fethard,
'n the Irish House of Commons, and by whom he leaves
issue several children. His brother, the Rev. H. Waldo
Sibthorp, late Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, be-
came a Roman Catholic some few year, since, but soon
afterwards returned to the English Church. Col. Sib-
thorp was for many years a magistrate and deputy-lieu-
tenant for the county of Lincoln, and in 1852 was ga
netted to the Colonelcy of the South Lincolnshire Militia.
He strenuously and consistently opposed in all their
stages Catholic Emancipation, the Reform Bill, and the
Aboli-ion of the Jewish Disabilities, and was one of
the minority of 53 who censured free trade when Lord
Derby was in office in November, 1852.

[ADVL fISEIIENTj —Holloway's Ointment and Pills
peculiar ...temedies for Wounds or Tumours.—Mr.Clark,
druggist, of Bowling, states, in a letter to Professor
Holloway, that a young man residing at Laister Dyke,
with whom he is personally acquainted, suffered severely
for a long time with a large turaour on the side of his
neck, which seemed to be incurable, as he tried various
remedies without any good effect ; but, by the use of
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, a sound and perfect cure
was soon effected. The !accuracy of this statement Mr.
Clark can vouch for, as he was an eye-witness to this
marvellous cure. Sold by all vendors of medicines ;
