REPRESENTATION OF KENT.—It is confidently
anticipated that the Eastern Division of this county will, at the
next election, send Saint Plumptre to the right about. As-
suredly the Dissenters will not again support a man whose every
vote has been against them, and in hostlity to civil and religious
freedom. We trust, too, that Mr. Rider, an old and tried
friend of popular rights, will sit beside his brother Reformer,
15. Hodges, in the next Parliament, and thus rescue from the
,1
Isgrace of having two Representatives, one pulling one way
and one the other, the Western Division of the county. Sir
Edward Knatchbull, and the boy-legislator, Sir Wm. Geary,
who abandoned his father's principles, are stains upon the re.

In a notice of the late Mrs. Fitzherbert, by the

avoided, by every means in her power, the position that after-
Wards became her lot ; united by the forms of her Church to
"e who for many years had sought her; placed on an emi-
ence whence she could do more injury, public and private,
than any one ever before her since the commencement of the
!.§t century ;—by the effect of her personal charms, and the
rtiplicity and integrity of her character, finding herself at the
ad of society, she thus, through a long life, succeeded in
"Pliiing the respect of all those who were, by the circumstances
of her situation, brought into contact with her; and when we
lay this, we mean that we have reason to believe that, from
nearly
the first moment her name became conspicuous in the
Illinois of this country, she enjoyed the esteem and expressed re-
gard of the very highest personages in it."
A correspondent informs us, that, in a parish not
pOO miles from Gosforth, there is a charge in the overseer's
uv'eks of half_a-guinea for hawking about a petition against the
Poor Law Amendment Act, and another charge of half-a-so-
l'ereign for the assistant-overseer's journey to Workington, to
attend the meeting lately held there.— TVhitehaven Herald.THE TRENCH.--A Frenchman (says Scythrop, in
the
b. " Nightmare Abbey") is born in harness, ready saddled,

s rider one moment, and kick him to death the next; but
another adventurer springs on his back, and by dint of whip
and spur on he goes as before."
