In the course of last week, Professor Calvert lec-
tured at the Westminster Literary Society, and pursued his
Series on Oratory at the Institution in Chancery-lane, treating
on Emphasis, and on Tone, or the Colouring of Poetry. We
cannot at this stirring time do anything like justice to the lec-
turer's knowledge of these topics, the clearness of his views,
or to the brilliant and convincing eloquence with which he
invests their driest details. A more unpropitious season could
scarcely hzve been selected to attract the public mind, in-
tensely rivettcd as it is on the great political struggle, of
which the whole empire forms now only one extended arena.
That Mr. Calvert has triumphed over these obstructions, and
has attracted wherever he has appeared crowded, and dis-
missed enthusiastic audiences, is the truest testimony to the
merit of these lectures. No person, in our remembrance, has
made this subject so efficient, has borne out his theory so suc-
cessfully in practice, or united so many external advantages of
manner, voice, and figure. At once, and without effort, Mr.
Calvert has placed himself at the head of this department.

On Tuesday the lightning descended into a shippon
at Prodsham, in which a man was milking one of his five cows
housed in the shed and killed them all on the spot; the man
was horribly scorched, and has since died of the injury he
received. His watch was melted in his pocket.—Chester
Gazette.

As a mark of the ardour of party feeling in this bo-
rough during the election, we may mention that on Thursday,
during the perambulating. ceremony, an effigy of Alderman
Thompson was hung up in Monkwearkmouth by the populace,
as a mark of their detestation of the Tory representative's po.
litics. The words " Alderman Trimmer" were attached to it.
—Shields Chronicle.

We congratulate the Reformers of the Montgomery
boroughs, on re-electing their Constitutional Member,. Col.
Etlwards, by a majority of 29. they have fought"the battle
nobly against ol:garchical influence, and we rejoice that here
the Tory faction have received a signal rebuff.
