NEW STRAND.

Last evening the audience at this very pretty little
theatre had the opportnnity of witnessing performances as
variegated as they were entertaining. There were not less
than four different pieces represented :=—Nell Gwynne ;
or, The Prologue, by Mr. Jerrold ; The Ti7er at Large,
The Irish Tutor, and Romeo and Juliet b Act of Paflia-
meet. The first piece, .a trifle without a plot., was indebted
for its attraction to the excellent acting of Mr. Hammond
and Mrs. Sterling. In the second piece Miss Eliza Hamil-
ton delighted us with the manner in which she sang the
simple little song of " I'll meet thee." Mr. H. Hall re-
presents The Irish Tutor in a manner which, though infe-
rior to some we have seen in the same character, was suffi-
ciently vivacious and true to nature to win deservedly the
plaudits of the audience. The afterpiece was the favourite
and laughable burlesque upon Shakspeare's Romeo and
Jleliet. From the commencement to the close every scene
excited laughter and applause.

FRENCH PLAY S—LYCEU..4I THEATRE.
This theatre was last night filled with a highly respectable
audience, nearly all French, to witness the performances of
the French Company here. The clever and amusing vaude-
ville of 11(adanze Gregoire, or Le Cabaret dc la Pomme de
Pin, was amongst the performances, and we hava sever seen
a piece delineating more satisfactorily the amiable manners
and sprightly character of the French. The scene is sup-
posed to.pass at a considerable period before the Revolu-
tion, and the interest is by no means lessened on that ac-
count. Amongst the .actors, who all performed with -great
ability, Monsieur Lafont (as Sergeant Belrose) shone con-
spicuous. Mile. Eliza Dubourg (as -Madame Gregoire)
would appear to have been the next in favour ; but the
whole performance MI excessive credit to the actors in
general. We had next La &mine des Amours, in which
Mlle. Jenny Vertpre sustained the principal character, with
all that charming naivete which has earned for this admi-
rable actress the applause of all the French. The per-
formances began with Le Capitaine Roland, in which Mon-
sieur Lafont distinguished himself.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY•)

CHARGE OF FORGERY.—Thomas Francis Carob
attorney of the city of Waterford, who had been retro°
on Tuesday fortnight, was again placed at the bar, ebarge.
with forging a bond for 4201., purporting to bear the sign;
of \state
tures of If. Winston Barron, M.P. for the city
ford, and his brother, Phillip Barron, and also that of Jell'
Flynn, as a witness.
Mr. Winston Barron requested of the Magistrate to 10
the prisoner transmitted to Waterford for trial, and in suli
port of such application he produced a letter from Pt
Waring to whom the bond had been tittered, who stateu(
that it would be totally out of his power to leave Irelai,(l
to give evidence. Another letter was produced from .1,°,.3
Flynn, accompanied by a declaration made before the I,
gistrates of Waterford, which stated that the signature
his name attached to the bond was a forgery.
Several papers which had been found in the possess;
of the prisoner, and which related to other fraud° In
transactions, were ordered by the Magistrate to be sea
up
Mr and
Barron
into the custody of the officer. bli
. Baron observed that nothing but a sense of Puh
duty would induce him to prosecute the prisoner, as he
for years conducted his money matters ; and in CO
of the great confidence he placed in him, bad been
principal agent during two or three contested elections.o
The prisoner made no reply, and was removed Prejids
tory to his being transmitted'to Waterford gaol on rr u
next, in the custody of Shackle, the officer of this e 5
blishment.

ROYAL PAVILION.

The company leas been greatly strengthened by the ac-
cession of Freer, J. R. Williams, Mrs. Wingrove, Mr. and
Mrs. H. Rignold, and several other established favourites,
and, all tliings considered, we think a successful season must
follow. The holiday entertainments are, Fifteen Years of
a British Seaman's Life, the interlude of King John, or the
Origin of horn Fair, and a new drama, written by Dibdin
Pitt, called the Water Tower, or the Wild Girl of La Ven-
dee. With respect to the first piece, we have so often
expressed our approbation of it. in all it; parts, that when
we say that Freer, Farrell, lleslop, Saker, and Mrs. Win
grole, performed their original .ch•tracteers, viz , those of
Fearnot, Bobstay, Heartall, Bon Block, and Molly May-
flower, with all their wonted exoellenee, and that all the
other characters were of sustained, we need say no
more to recommend it to the warn) patronage of the play-
goers of the East. The interlwie of King John is "capital
good" in its Way, and the prim!ipal characters being admi-
rably supported by West, J. R. Wdliarns, Saker—the
ever laughter-moving Saker—Manyard, and Mrs.. H. Rig-
nold, the gods applauded it to the echo throughout, and on

the fall of the curtain they gave note that it was destined to
have a run. The house was well filled in every part.

THE VICTORIA.
This theatre presented no peculiar novelty to its visitors
last evening. Mr. Warde, who is ahrays an effective actor,
and frequently one who displays attributes of the highest
order, appeared as Alexander in the play of Ale.rande,. the
Great. This character seemed well suited to the powers
of Mr. Warde ; and the care and skill which that gentle-
man always manifests were strikingly displayed in the n:an-
ner in which he sustained the 'ambitious .Monarch. His
efforts well merited the applause which were bestowed upon
them. The Clytus of Mr. Haines was highly creditable to
the ability of that gentleman;. and Miss Richardson, as
Rosana, appeared to great advantage. Valentine and
Orson, by the Lilliputian company of infant prodigies, was
a most amusing performance. The tiny actors were ap-
plauded to the echo : they are • exceedingly ingenious crea-
tures, and deserves popular support. The performance
closed with the serious ballet of action, La Perouse, in which
T. Blanchard appeared as Perouse ; how well we need
hardly say to those who know the powers of this actor in
pieces of this description. The theatre was fully attended.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
MORLEY'S HOTEL, CHARING CROSS,
July 24, 1837.
THE COMMITTEE for conducting the
ELECTION of Colonel EVANS and Mr. LEADER,
announce to their Brother Electors that the DAY for the NOMI-
NATION of the CANDIDATES is fixed for To-morrow (TuEs-
DAY), and the DAY of ELECTION for WEDNESDAY, the 26th
instant.

The Committee now congratulate the Electors upon the brilliant
prospects of success; the stzte of the Canvass exhibits a determi-
nation to uphold the renown of Westminster, and prevent Toryism
from obtaining a footing in this seat of Freedom, whence it was
triumphantly driven thirty years ago.
AU Reformers perceive and despise the base slanders by which
the Tory party have attempted to injure Colonel Evans ; but this
flagitious conduct is now meeting with the reward it richly merits.
The Committee earnestly entreat of the Electors not to relax in
their endeavours to sink the pretensions of the Tory party for ever
in Westminster, by continuing steadily and perseveringly in their la-
bottrs until the final close of the Poll at FOUR O'CLOCK on
WEDNESDAY.

By order of the Central Committee,
WILLIAM a'BECKETT, Chairman.
Snhscriptiom towards defraying the expenses of this Election arc
reeeired by the Central Committee.

111. PEP,CEVAL, etcr several repeated att.empts to ad-
dress the vast assemblage, and after having stated

that the slander propagated against Mr.

6uncombe

had not issued from his C.immittee•room, and that he was

proud to say Mr. Duncombe and Mr. W;ikley bolie‘;cd him

Mr. Perceval retired.

A show of !lauds was then taken for the respective can-
didates. Almost every hand was held np in favour of
Messrs. Duncombe and WAley, and only about half a dozen

in favour of Mr. Pereeval.
The Returning Officer declared the election had fallen of
the two former gentlemen, and a poll was demanded on behalf
of Mr. Pcrceval, which was fixed to take place to-morrow.
Mr. DAsini, then attempted to address the electors, but
could not obtain a hearing. There were repeated cries of
" Horsewhip the calumniating villain ;" " Duncombe, horse-
whip the vile blackguard. "—(" Hear, hear," and cheers.)
An individual of the name of Wilkinson then addressed Mr.
Duncombe several times, making use of the words swindler,

blackguard, &c.
Mr. D UNCO MBE coolly replied, it was impossible he could hear
what he said there ; but if he would wait upon him in his
Commit tee room he would give him an answer.
The immense assemblage then quietly disrrsed.

The Nomination of Candidates to represent this Borough in

Common. Long before the hour appointed for the nomination
every place around the hustings from which either a glimpse

came in procession from their Central Committee-rooms, as
did Mr. Baldwin. After twelve o'clock the Returnin. Officer

OXFORDSHIRE.— We arc happy to say that the canvass of
the Liberal candidate, Mr. Stonor, continues to proceed highly
sAtidactorily, and leaves no doubt of ultimate success. He
continues indefatigable in personally solicit int, the suffrages of
the electors, and " gathers golden opinions" from all sides. At
the county meeting held at Oxford to address the Queen last
Tuesday, his speech was the theme of admiration, even from
his political opponents. At the annual wool fair at Dorchester,
or, the following day, notwithstanding the attempt of the chair-
man, Mr. Ashurst, to prohibit political discussion, such was
the enthusiasm of the company, they would not be deprived of
hearing the expression of his sentiments, and his health was
drank amidst rapturous applause. The result of his canvass
in the town, after, proved their opinions to be in accordance
with his own. On Thursday he addressed the freeholders in
the Town-hall, Henley, who attended in great numbers to hear
his exposition of the prevailing topics of importance ; in the
course of which he strongly insisted upon the necessity of pro-
tection to the taxed British farmer against the competition of
the untaxed foreign farmer. His elucidation of the wishes of
Ministers in regard to Church-rates, and the Irish Church and
Municipal Curporations, were clearly defined ; and at the c in-
clusion he was greeted with a storm of applause such as the
Hall has seldomi resounded to. We do not hesitate to say this
county will throw off the thraldom of Toryism, which has been
its disgrace for'so many years.
POOLE. --The nomination for the town and county of Poole
took place yesterday. The Liberal candidates were Charles
Ponsonby, Esq., son of the late Member for Dorset, and G.
B. Phillips, Esq., (the late Member for Kidderminster).
The two Tories were Sir J. Walsh and Sir 11. Willoughby.
On the show of hands there was an immense majority In fa-
vour of Ponsonby and Phillips. However, the Sheriff, John
Adey, Esq., who is a violent Tory, in utter 'defiance of the
solemn oath he had taken, and common fairness decided for
Willoughby and Walsh, who will be regularly thrashed at the
poll, which takes place to-morrow.
NOIMI NOTTINGIIAMSIURE.-Mr. Poljambe, the Liberal
candidate's election, is sure. The other candidates are Mr.
Gaily Knight, and Mr. Holdsworth.

the Bill, for amending the law of Coverture, of which he had
last night given notice, and which had so much amused some
Hon. Members, might be passed into a law. In piesenting
this petition he had to observe, that although it wa, the first
presented to the House, it deserved to be a model to all others,
for it contained no more than seven iines—( Hear and a laugh)
—and as he had the honour to present it, he felt that in dc,ing so
he was bound to imitate its ores which he Loped would
he an example to other Honourable Members. (Hear, and
laughter.) The Hon. M.'rnber then io..sented a petition
from 87 innkeepers, hotel-keepers, and tavern.keepers in the
borough of Brighton, comphining, of the law respecting
their trade, by which thry were compelled to restore propel ty
lost in their houses, although such property had not been
placed in their hands, or in the hands of their servanti; and
they prayed that the law would be so altered as to place them,
in this respect, in the same situation as other tradesmen.

STEVEN! V. WELLING!.

Thiii was an appeal motion from an order of the Vice-
Char, cellor, declaring that a person named Evans was the se-
cond incumbrancer only of an estate in Wales. Evans con-
tended that he ought to have been considered first incum-
brancer, and appealed on that ground from the decision of the
Coutt below. The Lord Chancellor gave judgment in the
case this morning, dismissing the motion with costs.
London, England, 1837-11-21

DEWIIURST V. WRIGLEY.

His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this case, which was an
appeal from the decision of the Master of the Rolls, continu-
ing an injunction till the rights of the parties had been decided
at law. His Lordship considered, on the defendant's own
showing, that the order of the Master of the Rolls was right,
and refused the application v ith costs.

PENSIONS.

Mr. HARVEY gave notice that on Thursday next it was
his intention to move for a return of all sinecures and pensions
of whatever denomination, and on what fund they were charge-
able. When that return had been presented to the House
he should move for an enquiry as to whether those pensions
ought or ought not to be continued consistent with the public
interest and expenditure. Ile should also move on Thurs-
day, the Bth of February, for leave to bring in a Bill
to amend the Act for the better Representation of the People
in England and Wales.

IRELAND.

The Earl of RODEN, in compliance with their Lordships'
wish last evening (and he was sure no one felt more sincerely
than himself the importance of unanimity), had been induced to
defer making any observations upon any part of her Majesty's
Speech, or upon any part of the Address that had been agreed to
and carried up to her Majesty. He had felt as forcibly as any of
their Lordships, that on so auspicious an occasion it was most
important that nothing should be introduced likely to occasion
the slightest difference of opinion in that House.—(Hear,
hear.) But he freely confessed that he felt the course
it was his duty to pursue one of extreme difficulty, because
in that Address there were expressions which upon► ordinary
occasions he could not concur in. These expres.ions referred
to the general tranquillity of the empire ; and if that expres-
sion was meant to include that part of the empire in which he
( Earl Roden) resided, and in which the Noble Earl opposite
( Earl Mulgrave) also resided, he certainly should, have felt
it his duty to state his opinion in opposition to those senti-
ments, and have taken the usual opportunity on the Address
from the Throne being taken into consideration on the first day
of the Session to enter more at length upon the subject. But
under the circumstances of the case he had felt it his duty to
give notice to the Noble Earl opposite that on Monday next
it was his intention to move for the production of certain
papers connected with that subject.
Earl Al LTLG RA VE was happy to find that the Noble Earl
bad thought it right to give him notice of his intention, rather
than introduce the subject incidentally. There was no doubt
that he ( Lord Mulgrave) would be able to prose when the
opportunity arrived, that the general tranquillity of that country
was in as favourable a state as at any former perio !.—( Hear.)
Adjourned.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Howe resumed at three o'clock, and prayers having
been again read, the Earl of Shaftesbury took his seat on the
Woolsack.

Lord Kinnaird, Lord Monson, Lord Arbuthnot, Lord Long-
dale, and some other Peers, took the oaths, and subscribed
the Parliamentary roll.
The House then adjourned during pleasure.
The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsack at five
o'clock, at which time there were about twenty Peers present.
The LORD CHANCELLOR acquainted the House that
the Peers appointed for that purpose had been to her Majesty
with the Address agreed to by that House, and her Majesty
had been graciously pleased to return the following answer :
" My Lords, I thank you for your faithful and loyal Ad-
dress. I have learned, with great satisfaction, that you will
devote yourselves to the consideration of the several measures
I have recommended, and I rely entirely on your devotion to
my service, and your zeal for the public welfare and tran-
quillity."
On the motion of Earl SHAFTESBURY the Address
and her Majesty's answer we :e ordered to be inserted in the
Journals of the House.

ANTRIM HOUSE HOTEL, DUBLIN.

AIR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the
Proprietor (who is retiring with a suitable competency)
to dispose of
THE ANTRIM HOUSE HOTEL IN MERRION-
SQUARE, DUBLIN.
Those who have been familiar for many a long; year with the
superior pretensions of
THIS SPLENDID FAMILY HOTEL
will not need to havo its manifold advantages enumerated ; it is
with a view to illumine those who have not had the good fortune
to be a guest, and partake of its great comfort, that a few lines will
be addressed. The Hotel is widely placed in the most fashionable
part of

DUBLIN'S FAVOURED CITY.
In Merrion-equare (which for outward show and inward accom-
modation, leave our Grosvenor- square at a respectful distance).
It has been fitted up with a view to accommodate the Nobility and
first families in the land. There are magnificent suites of apart-
ments, and some of a minor character, so that
" ALL SORTS AND CONDITIONS OF MEN"
will find themselves at home at the Antrim Hotel. The situation
ranks beyond any other in the City, and the comfort and accom-
modation that will be found to preside throughout, are quite on a
par with Morrison's, and it needs not a higher panegyric.
The Property is Leasehold for 42 years ; the Ground Rent a
mere bagatelle. The Furniture and Effects are splendid, and con-
sequently well adapted to this Establishment ; and a 'respectable
applicant will find every disposition to facilitate his wishes and con-
sult his " ways and means ;". it preseets a rare opportunity to
acquire an independence in quick time.
Principals only need apply ; and if by ',letter, post paid, to Mr.
George Robins, London.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

hasten to make a correction in the last part'
of my letter addressed to you yesterday.
I had received -a previous letter containing an sealant
of the state of the Dunfermline burghs ; but so slight
are the impressions made at a bustling time by commu-
nications which present nothing feasible to the mind of
the receiver, that it was not till. after. I had diipatched
my letter to you • that •it oocurred to . me, that the two
communications were about •one and the same place, and
then • I had some trouble in ascertaining the fact.
I take the opportunity to "reiterate my main assertion,
that no communication ever tosk place between Mr
Hume and me on the subject of the Dunfermline burghs ;
and consequently the statements. that "Joseph accord-
dingly beset Colonel Thompson like a very bull-dog, &c..must he traceable to the invention of some ingenious
citizen. I am, Sir, yosr obedient Servant,

GERMANY

At the meeting of the States of Baden on the 22d ult.,
a Deputy, M. Itzstein, declared, in reference to the aboli-
tion of the Constitution of Hanover by King Ernest,
that the Federal Act having guaranteed state constitutions
to all the people of Germany, the abrogation of that insti-
tution should be held as a measure in direct opposition
with the Federal Act. " Some easily alarmed persons," he
said, " feared that the coup d'etat of the King of Hanover
was the signal of a reaction against the Constitution of
Germany, and it behoved the Legislative Assembly and the
Government of Baden to reassure the public on that head."
He accordingly proposed that the latter should instruct its
Envoy at the German Diet to protest against the abolition
of the Hanoverian Constitution, and strenuously to insist
on the maintenance of the 13th article of the federal com-
pact. Messrs. de Rotteck, d'Uttlingen, and Walker sup-
ported the motion with great warmth. M. Blittendorff,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied that he fully con-
curred in the principle invoked by M. Itzstein in sup-
port of his motion, but he at the same time thought that it
was premature. The proposition, he said, implied a sort
of distrust against the Government, as one must naturally
infer from it that the Grand Duke was not aware of his
duties, and that it was necessary to remind him of them by
a special motion. He accordingly voted against its being
taken into consideration. The house, neverthele.s, unani-
mously pronounced its adoption, amidst the vivas of the
numerous auditory who filled the public galleries.
HANOVER, JULY 17.—You must not enquire of the in-
habitants of Hanover if you would learn the real temper of
the country. I speak here of a great part of what arc
called the educated classes. The temper of the nobility, as
well as of most persons in office, is not favourable. The
people love and honour our King, who mixes with them
dressed in the plainest manner, addresses the first that
attracts his notice in the street, and speaks to him a few
words in broken (scarcely intelligible) German. The people
• love the King as their own King ; they never knew nor
loved the Constitution. You must not look for the real

feeling of the country in Hanover, for our city is too much
interested in the matter. Go to Osnahurg, Holderheim,
Emden, Gottingen—converse there with persons in office,
even with Professors, and you will learn how the people in
the kingdom in general think. We hear nothing of the
Gottingen prisoners, in whose favour some of the many de-
putations have spoken a word. The King, however, is said
to see the matter in its true light as a boyish trick, and there
is thus some hopes that the petitions for pardons made by
their families will be attended to.

70 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The accompanying is exciting great interest in
North Wilts, and is likely to give "the Old Apostate" a
mortal political blow. If you insert it immediately in your
Newspaper it will very much please the Reformers in this
part of the county, and much discourage the present adhe-
rents of " Old Glory." I understand thousands of them
will be distributed at the nomination this day at Devizes.
1 am, Sir,
Bristol, Aug. 3. AN OLD REFORMER.

TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTH WILTS
BURDETT, THE APOSTATE.
An Answer to " Burdett, the Champion."
When you opposed "oppression's" power,
And strangely talked of " Freedom,"
The people in those days of yore
Thought you could really serve 'em.
You spoke, you shuffled, mizzl'd toe,
And left the People's cause ;
" Reform " and " Liberty " for you
Would ne'er have been our laws.
But you're a Medley now, I see,
Unhallow'd are your lips,
For you insulted " Liberty"
By your base treacherous slips.
A voice like Jacob's you may use,
Your hands like Esau', are ;
You'd sell our birthrights, and abuse
What's Right, Good, Honest, Fair.
A single tyrant such as you
May once give good men pain ;
But once betray'd, you'll find it true,
Your blusterings are vain.
Republicans, and Papists too,
if honest may abound,
But all will vile Apostates view
And hurl them to the ground.
•
The Crown, the Altar, all that's good,
The Traitor desecrates,
Pollutes the holiest, if he could,
Despoils all men's estates.
Then, shall this " Pismire," men of Wilts,
Again betray your Cause?
Shall Treachery stalk abroad in stilts
And help to make your Laws ?
Forbid it, Heaven ! let Peace and Truth
Adorn this beauteous land ;
Let Justice, Right, Old Age and Youth,
Unite with heart and hand.
Britons, who love your Country still,
Now strike the tyrant low ;
He's had a breeze against his will
But never such a blow.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.•.—LzwES, Alla. 3.
DE GONDORIM V. LEWIS AND ANOTHER.
This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, a
French lad, to recover compensation in damages from the
defendants, Custom-house officers at Brighton, for illegally
seizing a portfolio belonging to him.
The Jury awarded one farthing.
The Learned JUDGE said subsequently that the plaintiff
must be nonsuited, leave being reserved to the plaintiff to
move the Court above.

NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Nozwies, Arc I.
Their Lordships having proceeded hither from Bury yes-
terday evening opened the commission for the county with
the usual solemnities, and took their seats at twelve to-day,
after Divine Service at the Cathedral, Mr. Justice Vaughan
presiding in the Nisi Prius Court, where there were fifteen
causes entered, and Mr. Justice Bosanquet in the Crown
Court, where there were 38 prisoners.

NISI PRIUS COURT.--ALRXANDER V. SIMPSON.
Mr. KELLY appeared for the plaintiff, who brought his
action under the following circumstances :—A jovial party
being assembled on the 25th of February last at the sign of
the Cross Keys, at North Walsham, in this county, -a
question arose as to the respective powers of the plaintiff, a
youth of great personal strength and courage, and of one
Bayes Ward, enjoying at that time the enviable title of
" Champion of North Walsham." The result of the con-
troversy was that each party deposited a five-pound note
with the defendant as stakeholder, and a regular agreement
was drawn up, by which the two rivals bound themselves
on a certain day, at the hour of four, P.M., to meet on the
bowling-green, and there to have " a fair stand-up fight,
at minute time, for the 101. so deposited." The prelimi-
naries of this league being thus arranged each party pre-
pared for action by a severe course of training ; but the
authorities of the -law having got wind of the intended
breach of the peace the battle was prevented, on which the
plaintiff demanded from the defendant his deposit. This,
however, was refused, whereupon, the action was com-

menced.
The above facts having been proved by the defendant's
witnesses, a verdict was taken, by cansent, for the sum
claimed by the plaintiff, namely, 5/.
CROWN COURT.—Janzes and John Nixon, aged respec-
tively 25 and 26, stood charged by James Watts, of Hach-
ford, with the commission of a highway robbery on the 6th
of May last.
Mr. Justice BOSANQUET having summed up the case,
the prisoners were both found guilty, and severally sen-
tenced (in accordance with the spirit of the new criminal
code) to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.
Denis Durant was charged with stealing thirty sovereigns,
one half sovereign, and some silver, from the dwelling-house
of James Bird, of Itteringham, in this county.
His LORDSHIP summed up : the prisoner was found
guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life, with previous
imprisonment for one month.
London, England, 1837-08-04

CITY OF KILKENNY.

The election will begin on Thursday. The polling, we
imagine, will be rather languid for the present. But we
have ►:o doubt that Kilkenny will do its duty, and, iu the
certain event of Mr. O'Connell's return for Dublin, send
into Parliament a fit and proper person to represent them.

CITY OF WATERFORD.

Major Beresford has gone down to contest Waterford.

CITY OF LIMERICK.

We shall beat the Orangemen ; but, then, only think of
Tom Goold's joining the Orange candidate.

COUNTY OF LIMERICK.

In our last we should have called upon Colonel Fitz-
gibbon to be personally at his post, for the County of Lime-
rick. The constituency are dissatisfied at his absence, and
they should not longer have cause to complain.
