The hope which the Tories of Perth han en-
couraged of a serious disagreement arising aP.'eong the
Roformers,.in consequence of what took plaee at the last
election, has induced them to .put forward., a Mr. W. F.
B:ack, who, in an address which he has published, inti-
mates that " he has been engaged in business all bis life is
London." His promises are as specious as usual ; he can't
pledge himself to support any Ministry, but he is to offer no
:filet/ons opposition ; very anxious to promote educationr
but can't approve of the Ministerial efforts to advance it;
&c. His address, in short, is precisely of that kind which
can only be received with credence or respect by a con-
stitueney willing to be duped ; and as that is far from being
the case with the independent Reformers of the city which
this Mr. Black aspires to represent, it follows that the
Tories have as little chance of success in their threatened
opposition at the next election as they felt they had a few
weeks ago. Their candidate is. we believe, unknown in
London, and is known only in Perth by his visits to vote
for the Tory. Their expectation that Provost Greig will
resign, we presume to be as vain as their hope of dividing
the Reformers.
,‘ A squadron el dragoons," says the Memorial of
Dieppe, " having arrived at Eu to reinforce the garrison
during the King's stay, the military authorities, 'not knowing
where else to lodge them, suggested to the Mayor part of the
buildingseof t e
consented; eo
butlleg theew principalat hiehvcasunboice:Jpied. The Mayor
the college declared
that he never would allow it to be converted into barracks,
ai:d that if they were resolved to station dragoons in it they
must first burst the gates open. This,
in
fact, was done.
The deputy Mayor, wea7ing the insignia of office, and ac-
companied by a picket guard, went and twice forced open
the gates of the college, which the principal as often
closed again ; but in the end the dragoons were placed in
the vacate; part of the buildings."

Thursday, after an absence of seven years, Lot'
and Lady Stafford returned to Cossey, when the tenantry.
and vill zera, with a readiness which speaks the warmth Of
their attachment, prepared a fete to welcome them home.
At a little before five a cavalcade of near eighty horsemen,
wearing the colours of the family, and followed by upwards
of a thousand persons, preceded by a band of music, met
Lord and Lady Stafford at Easton : the horses were taken
from tho carriage, and it was drawn to the entrance of
Cossey Park. Here the children of the Village scbol,
joined in the procession, each wearing an appropriate knot
of red and yellow, and bearing at their head a miniature
banner, inscribed with their good wishes to their founder.
At the porch of the hall the little band of scholars opened,
and forming on each side, while the horsemen surrounded
the court doorway, led the swelling chorus of gratulation
by cheers that spoke their full sense of the comforts
showered among them by an unsparing hand. A consider-
able number of the tenants, tradesmen, and inhabitants
afterwards dined at the Falcon, where the sentiments which
inspired these demonstrations were warmly expressed in
appropriate toasts. At about ten o'clock the park was
again thronged by spectators, and the festivities closed by a
display of fireworks.—Bury Post.

CARRIER PIGEONS.—Mr. Mathews, the Pier-
master, shot yesterday afternoon, at half-past six, a pigeon
which had a strip of paper round one of its legs,
bearing
the following inscription :
BAYONNE, 9 SEPT.—Don Carlos a appele les diverses

The pigeon appeared very distressed, and had rested on one
of the chains of the Picr for some little time, before Mr.
Mathews went for his gun to shoot him. —Brighton

HOWDEN GREAT HORSE FAIR. Great pre-

parts of the world, that dealers come over, commissioned
from Emperors and Kings, to buy the horses of this
country, at this celebrated mart, in order to improve the
breed of their own, for which they freuently give
exorbitant prices. In the year 1200, King John granted
to Bishop Philip a license to hold an annual fair at How-

LITTLE PEDLINGTON.—Our readers do not
require to be reminded that there is such a place as Little
Pcdlington, or to be told of its " whereabout," and the
numerous and famous literati, illuminati, and others, who
illustrate its now classic purlieus; but they may like to be,
apprised that the distinguised traveller who first enjoyed
the honour and happiness of discovering this heretofore
terra incognita, and laying bare its social and intellectual
wealth to the wonder and admiration of the world, bag at
letigth been impelled by the natural ambition of an origi-
nal and exeursi,e mind, to publish, in a collected form. the
whole of his observations, social, political, literary, artis:
tical, graphical, biographical, &c., &c. The result will
doubtless be the production of one of the most amusing
and piquant works of its class that has ever issued from the
p.- es. -s— a wok claiming a corner in every well. appointed
post-chaise, and a good word from every critic who is duly
impressed with the belief that to laugh is not only the
t, nest pleasure of life, but the universal panacea for all '
its ills.
