WHALLEY THE WIaE,

(From Fun,,/„.)
giving an account
St`..ivardship to the intelligent electors
Mr G. H, Whalley has no time in
of his Parliamentary
of Peterborough, wto do themselves so much honour, and
so thoroughly vindicate their title to the franchise, by re-
turning tba, determined enemy of Popery. We regret we
can find room only for a portion of his admirable address to
his ~.onstituents.
Mr Whalley, after a sketch of the past session, and refer-
ences to his introduction of a protest against the Church of
Rome on the Third Reading of every Railway Bill and
other domestic measures, proceeded "I shall continue
this course. I am asked what Popery has to do with
railways ? I answer, Everything, I know that nearly
every stationmaster is a Jesuit in disguise, and some day
when there is a Roman Catholic rebellion, and troops are
wanted, the lines will be blocked, and probably collisions
will be arranged for the destruction of the Queen's
soldiers. The Jesuits are everywhere, Do you know
why the Nelson Column is not complete ? Be-
cause Popery obstructs homage to the victor of
Roman Catholic fleets, and Sir Edwin Leeadseer has been
converted. (Cheers.) Do you know triat the Lord Chan-
cellor of England, in utter defie
:ace of the law that the
keeper of the Queen's cone
'.-;ience shall have no Popish
leanings, has favoured the interests of Mrs Yelverton ?
Why ? Because that lady is a Catholic. (Sensation.) Do
you know that 'the Queen of Spain has ordered a statue to
Columbus ? by ? Because the Emperor of the French
has forended a new Catholic empire in America, and that
in cen years Federals and Confederates will lie at the feet
of the Pope. Gentlemen, I have often felt the pangs of
' conscience at representing a borough called after St, Peter,
and I do wish you would change the name of your town.
(Cheers.) Are you aware that in the heart Of London, in
front of the most magnificent railway terminus we have, is
rising a beau' iful and costly copy of an Reanor's Cross,
the superstitious monument erected by a Popish king ? Do
you know that the conductor of the music at our noblest
opera house (visited I am sorry to say by the Heir
to the Throne) is M. Costa, a Catholic, and that
he has got a dispensation for leading the Hugue-
nots and the National Anthem ? Have you heard
that Earl Russell, the pretended enemy of Popery, is going
to bring in a bill for restoring to his relative's property its
old Popish name of Convent Garden ? You knew, gentle-
men, that the London General Omnibus Company was a
foreign speculation, but do you know that all the conduc-
tors are Jesuit priests, that they charge half fares to pas-
sengers who cross themselves, and misdirect to Catholic
chapels those who inquire their way to Protestant places of
worship. (Shame.) Yes, gentlemen, and can you hear
with patience that a Catholic tract Society has obtained
leave trom Mr Panizzi, of the British Museum, to insert a
tract in every volume of the library ? Does Mr Panizzi's
name remind you of England or of Italy ? Was there a
word, gentlemen, in the Queen's Speech last week to re-
mind us that the Sovereign is a Protestant? Not one.
But the Queen was made to go out of her way to express
satisfaction that she is on good terms with the
Emperor of China. Who cares for the Emperor
of China in himself ? But what so- called Chris-
tian religionists have had for hundreds of years the
greatest sway in the Chinese Empire—who have been tole-
rated when Protestants have been excluded ? Why, the
Jesuits. (Cheers.) Again, do you note that it is made
matter of boast that the French and English are drawing
into closer alliance, Catholic with Protestant ? (Cheers.)
Ay, you cheer, but that is not all. Who is our friend's
friend ? Who, at this moment of the increased amity is
about to visit theTuileries. The King of Spain. Does that
anti-Protestant bigot come for nothing ? Cowley
see him ? We live in awful and perilous times, gentle-
men. I know for a fact that there were hundreds of
Catholics among the Riflemen at Wimbledon, and that it
one of them had been the best marksman of the meeting,
Lady Elcho would have unhesitatingiy presented him with
the Queen's Prize. (Sensation.) Yes, and how soon
would that silver vase have become the ornament of a
Popish
,mass-house? It was providential that it fell to
Mr Wyatt, who is a Protestant, but no thanks to the
authorities. Why have passports just been so universally
abolished on the Continent ? In order to entrap English-
men and Englishwomen into Catholic countries in order
to promote proselytism ? Why has the cross on St. Paul's
just been ostentatiouslyand splendidly regilt ? Look at that.
And why is a magnificent bridge being constructed, at vast
expense, at Blackfriars—and observe that Popish name,
gentlemen. Because Blackfriars-bridge will open a tempt-
ing and delightful toad from mid-London to Cardinal
'Wiseman's Popish cathedral, St. George's. Lastly, gen-
tlemen, though I could give you a hundred similarly alarm-
ing demonstrations, hear this. You have heard of Mr
Banting. His system is artfully promulgated all over the
country. It is pretended that he merely desires to reduce
the over-corpulent. Bah I Ho is a Jesuit priest, and his
object is to introduce and make popular the Popish practice
of regular fasting, Yes, gentlemen, I repeat that we live
iu perilous times, and the Triple Crown will coon domi-
nate the Three Kingdoms."

Mr Whalley sat down amidst loud cheers and passionate
cries of "No Popery 1"

SUDDEN DEATH DIIRING• A HONEYMOON.—A
terribly sudden death occurred on Sunday fortnight
to Mrs. Arthy, wife of Captain Arthy, whose maiden name
was Miss Winstanley, and who had been married at
Beverley only on the
previous Tuesday week. They re-
paired to Scarborough to spend a portion of the honeymoon,
and were residing at one of the hotels. On Sunday morn-
ing Captain Arthy awoke about his usual hour and found
his wife a corpse by his side. A. coroner's inquest was held
the same evening, and a verdict of " Death from natural
causes" was returned,
