THE WILTS VICTORY.—Referring to the lives
sacrificed, and to means made use of by the Tory agents at
the North Wilts election, the Independent says, " a time
will come when the blood of those victims will rise up in
judgment against those who planned, and sanctioned, the
base proceedings on the day of nomination." 'Adding, "is
the flush of victory the expense is little thought of ; and
were the expense confined to money, would be of little im-
portance ; but when we contemplate the amount of vice and
misery which has been the consequence of the means adopted
to gain this victors, we shudder at the thought."
The return of Mr. Dunlop, the Liberal candidate
for Ayrshire is certain. On the first day, he had a gross
majority of 143 ; and, although we have not yet received
the details of the second day's poll, we are assured that be
will have a majority of upwards of 200.—Scotsman.

The new;v-elected Tory representatives of We)'-.
mouth have fixed pn Thursday next for regaling their sup-
porters with a dinner, to celebrate their return to Parlia-
ment.. It would seem that there is not that unanimity "in
the camp" as was anticipated, and they would fain make be-
lief of----as it is reported that not all of " Mine Hosts" have
accepted the boon of opening a house on the occasion► with
good entertainment, for less than twice " Twelve honest
men and free !!"—Sherbo: ►►e Journal.

We were speaking in a 'company a few evenings ago
about the miraculous conversion of the fishes by the preach-
ing of some saintin the Rotnish calendar. " There'i
nothing uncommon about. it," said a friend from Kilmarnock.
The eloquence of Mr. Colqulioun, when he was with ar,
lured the whole Finnic tribe from the cause of Reform.
Seats Tinics.

We have heard some members of the fine new con-
stituency of Kilmarnock affect to speak of the Rutherglen
voters as retaining some of the old bearers of the close fp-
toin. At the recent election Rutherglen lies nobly vindi-
cated itself from the charge, and may now turn the tables
on its critics. Poor Kilmarnock ! Even Inverness, newly
emancipated from tho Tory, with all the airs of a kept ma"
dam who has just been made an honest woman of, points
the finger at her.—Argos.
In the Court of Chancery yesterday morning, the
Lord Chancellor intimated that he would appoint some day,
next week on which he would give judgment in several
cases which were still undecided.
Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Stirling,
Coroner, at the Triumph public-house, Somers-town, on tho
body of Thomas Gibbs, who hung himself last Tuesday. It
appeared the deceased was a carpenter, 57 years of AO
formerly in good circumstances, but for the last five yearS
had suffered bodily ill health, and mentally from his misfor4
tunes and the ungrateful neglect of his son. During the
absence of his wife out at work, he suspended himself from
the bedstead post with a rope. Verdict--" Temporal
Insanity.

Several large covies of young birds have been seen
in this neighbourhood strong upon the wing. Pheasant'
are said to have brooded well, and will be plentiful Oil
season. Hares are also spoken of as very numerous al g
plentiful, so that sportsmen may anticipate with confidence
unusually good sport as soon as the time will adinitelf(4l.l
