FRIGHTFUL DISCOVERY.—We thought that the
Tories, like the wolves, were extinct—not that any
great price would be set, by an economist, on the heads of
the former. But it seems that we were in error. The
eminent naturalist, Mr. Bright, has discovered that the
species is still in existence, and raging. He declares that
there are thousands of Tories rampaging about England
(and at their leisure electing nearly half the House of
Commons) who were hungering and thirsting to undo all
the good that has been done for the last 70 years. They
are sworn and vowed to achieve certain horrible things
which he enumerates. They are these —To re-enact the
Test and Corporation Acts, so that every Dissenter may be
turned out of every place of profit. To repeal the Roman
Catholic Emancipation Act. To repeal the Reform Act,
the Corporations Act, and the Navigation Acts. To reim-
pose the corn laws, the sugar duties, the newspaper tax,
and the paper duty. To abolish the system of national
education. To do away with the new tariff. To repu-
diate the French treaty, and to make church rates and
tho Irish Church eternal institutions. This is truly
awful. We did not know it. As we said, we thought that
the old original Tory was extinct, and we did not believe
that there existed in England so great a fool as the man
must be who entertains any one single object above stated.
If we knew the man we would burst upon him in thunder
and lightning. But we do not. Can it be that Mr. Bright
has been once more calumniating a large body of his fel-
low-countrymen merely because they do not agree with
him ? This is again an awful supposition—but is it quite
without warrant in precedent 2—Punch.
DEATH OF MISS TALBOT.—We have to announce
the death, on Thursday last, the 30th ult., in London, of
this estimable lady, in her 69th year. The deceased, Anne
Talbot, was daughter of the late Mr. William Talbot, of
Castle Talbot, and sister of the late Countess of Shrews-
bury. By her death many families of distinction are placed
in mourning. Amongst others those of the Princes Bor-
ghese and Doria Pamphili ; Talbot, Dundas, Annesley, Sir
J. Power, Lambert (of Carnagh), Bryan (of Jenkinstown),
