OWN TRAP!

" Dost thou think that because thou'rt virtuous, 'there shall be
no more cakes or ale ?—Yes, by St. Anne, and ginger shall
be hot i' the mouth too I"—Shakspeare.
Are the two Tory candidates of Glasgow (namely, Messrs.
James Campbell and Robert Monteith) really such simpletons
as to believe that because they can ape liberality in their ad-
dresses (the devil could quote Scripture—and he, too, was
rejected and scouted for his pains I) that the Reform electors
will give them credit for having any thing like reform in their
hearts? If so, this is the veriest insult that could be given to
an enlightened constituency ; and that there may be "no
mistake" as to its having bcen offered, "out of their ossu
mouths shall they be condemned. "It is your duty (quoth
Mr. Robert Monteith to the electors) to express, by your
suffrages, your opinion of the manner in which her Majesty
may best fulfil her high function of maintaining—( Query—
Did she not declare that she ' would promote the further ame-
lioration of our laws ?') our liberties, and at the same time cif
handing them down in all security to future generations.
" I am persuaded that if that measure (reiterates the other
Tory candidate, Mr. James Campbell, in allusion to the Re-
form Bill) be allowed a fair trial, it cannot fail to yield the
peaceable fruits of prudent and beneficial legislation, tending
at once to the improvement and stability of all our valued in-
stitutions, the advancement' of our national, and the still
greater security of our civil and religious liberties." Dost
thou, Jim and Bob, really think that because thou apcst to be
virtuous or liberal, that you will deter the no3cst Glasgow
Reformers—as the eyes of Britain have been ever upyi them
—from nobly doing their duty ? No ! They know t►:eir
"duty" too well, and they value the " Reform Bill" too I

highly, without requiring to be tutored, as respects either by
you, Tory converts And we rejoice to think that their firm
determination is to give their individual support to the two
genuine Reform candidates, Messrs. John Dennistoun and

—(his name is expected to be announced on Niondt.y,)
who w;11 in their turn aid the good cause so yrarmly espoused
by our lovely and virtuous Queen Victoria, by her Majesty's
Ministers, and by all enlightened constituencies !
God save the Queen, and
" Let Glasgow flourish by the Reform Bill I"

Out of place—having lost his character on the rood—the
recreant driver of the Derby Dilly, who is now reduced to
brg-gary and despair !

The payment of the Quarterly Dividends to the
public commenced to-day at the Bank of England, the private
bankers having yesterday signed for the amounts to which
they were entitled, under powers of attorney as trustees, or by
other authority. There was a more numerous attendance on
the part of the public than was anticipated ; and it created
some remark that the number of ceroneted carriages which con-
veyed the Aristocratical fundholders into the City, was ext.-
tainly greater than is usual on the first day of the payment of
the dividends. In other respects the City bore the appearance
of the observance of the Sabbath, scarcely a shop or ware-
house being open. A notice was posted to-day at the Bank of
England, appointing Thursday, the 22d inst., for a special
meeting of the Proprietors, to consider the propriety of voting
the Address of Condolence to th... Queen Dowager, on the
death .of the late King, and of congratulating her Majesty
Queen Victoria on her accession to the throne. By about
three o'clock public business had wholly ceased in the City ;
nearly the whole of the, cuffec-houses, as well as other estab-
lishments, were closed.

ANECDOTE OF THE QUEEN.—The following anec-
dote of her Majesty Queen Victoria will, we doubt not, be
read with interest by our readers :—While Princess Victoria,
her Majesty, accompanied by her illustrious mother the
Duchess of Kent, wae frequently in the habit of taking a
drive in the neighbourhood of Wimbledon Common. Ore
those occasions they generally passed the cottage of a poor
but industrious gardener named ,Talbot, situated on the left
hand side of the road leading:from the Hammersmith Sespen-
sion Bridge, and close to the village of Barnes, and her Ma-
jesty being struck with the beauty of the flowers and the
taste with which they were artanged would often stop the
carriage for the purpose of inhaling their flagrance. Oa
Monday evening last the Queen, during her drive to her fa-
vourite spot, as usual passed the grounds of Mr. Talbot,
when she stopped the carriage, and seeing Mrs. Talbot, is
is much afflicted v, ith rheumatism, sitting in front, called to
her, and requested she would oblige her with a nosegay of
roses and sw,et peas from the beds with which the garden
abounded. Mrs. Talbot, being unaware of the illustrious rat k
of her visitor, instantly hobbled from her seat and cut a small
bouquet, which, with a courtesy, she presented at the door of
the barouchc. Her Majesty seeing her lameness, inquired the
cause, when, learning it was the rheumatism, she put a sove-
reign into Mrs. Talbot's hand, who, observing the Queen
made ut the same moment a sign for the carriage to proceed,
begged she would wait for her change, but her Majesty in a
most kind manner told her to get something to ease the pain
of her rheumatism with it. Mrs. Talbot's surprise when she
afterwards heard from the toll collector at the bridge that 'her
visitor was the Queen, may be imagined.
Parliamentary electors in cities and boroughs will
lose their votes unless they pay on before the 20th of July in-
stant, the poor-rate and window tax due on the sth of April
last. County voters must send in their claims by the 20th of
July instant.

07,ry were pleasuring was wreclied.—Scots Tn us.
