Candidates such as Sir G. Murray and Mr. Walter, and
the rest of that awkward squad, are proposed by the
Standard, and some additions are named by the Times,
to the choice Of tha counties, where aboriginal inhabitant
Toryism cannot supply candidates of -home. growth.
This reminds us of the arrangements 'genie strolling
theatres, where the dramatic corps not., 'Jig 4xadtly au

expected to play two parts in one farce. 'When one act
of " The Election" is over, the poor performers who have
flitted across the stage in one character which is never
to appear again, must assume new disguises, as they
may, for a different role. Ttius Sir George Murray went
down to Manchester, and declared _for a moderate fixed
duty on corn. Mr. Dawson to Devonport, as liberally
disposed that way as the electors would have him. The •
electors, however, would not have either of these Liberal b.
Tories : any more than Ipswich would have Mr. H
or Berwick Mr. Holmes. According to this ne'
of transfers from boroughs to counties, these hi
performers must wash their hands and faces as '
possible, on-wing, and powder themselves wel,
with home-grown flour, and exchange the d,

culture leads them to vote against that measure,

to win Manchester, declared he would vote for

STANDARD.—
is not the time for d
when challenged to defend ourselves we may not shrink
from the challenge merely upon the ground that it is un-
seasonable. Mr. Gisborne is reported to have used the
following expressions at the South Derbyshire nomina-
tion :

" And this leads me to recur to an argument of our oppo-
nents, who charge us with a desire to sever the interests df
trade and agriculture. Truly this is a strange argument to
come from them. Let me remind you of the language held by
their leading organs, and of which you will find an echo in the
Tory Paper of your own town. The Standard said that' if
all the manufacturing towns and districts of Great Britain were
engulphed in one `common ruin, it would not matter to the
country.' Such is, the sentiment of the most consistent organ
of the Tory pa, ty, and the Mercury of this town echoes that sen-
timent."

With reference to Mr. Gisborne's denial, on the part
of the faction to which he belongs, of any hostility to the
interests of agriculture, we have to observe thqt the
passage which he has misquoted from the Standard was
written in reply to an assertion that England would be
" a richer and happier country, if it did not grow
single ear of wheat." In the next place, we must dig-
claim, however flattering would be the distinction, the
honour of representing the Conservative party. Our
opinions are oar own ; and if Mr. Gisborne has lately
looked into the election reports, he might have
'seen that .we maintained this particular opinion with
which he quarrels, not merely without regard to the
Conservative party, but in opposition to the opinion
of the only person upon whom the writer can be
said to be dependent. Mr. Gisborne may not under-
stand this. " The sycophant and demagogue," says
Aristotle, are "the same men in different situations ;"
and we can easily believe that either sycophant or de-
magogue must pronounce it impossible for an em-
ployer to allow such latitude to a servant, or for a ser-
vant to avail himself of it ; such is, however, the case
among English gent,lemen and Conservatives. Let not
Mr. Gisborne, theh, charge the opinions of the
Standard upon the Conservative party, unless he is
willing to adopt for himself and his party, the opinion
that " England would be a. richer and happier country
if it did not grow a single ear of wheat." The pro-
position asserted by us was, however, far more restricted
than.this. It did not concern manufacturers, but ma-
nufacturing districts—those congregations of unhappy
human beings were all his monopoly—where the e
combination of capitalists fixes wages at the lowest far-
thing, and 'even devours the profits of that farthing's
worth of food by compelling the under-paid labourers
to deal at its own shops—thus robbing the tradesman and
retailer
,of his, legitimate gainsovhile the labourer is
plundered with theta. This was the evil which the parr,
graph quoted contemplated, and not the existence ek
manufactures, which is hi no respect dependent
upon the capitalists' combination and tally system.
But had our remark been more general, had we. Said
that the greatness, prosperity, and happiness of Eng-
land are not dependent upon her manufactures: what
more should we have said than that the energies and
enterprise .of: England would be hilly as prc,ductive
if turned into any other channel—if directed to, coloni-
sation, and maritime commerce, and fishf•ries, for
example. Would this be saying of mantenettires nktre
than Sir Robert Stopford says of Commodore: Napier—
that though his skill and gallantry were, to be acknow-
ledged, still his absence would not 'nave changed the
event of the war ? This is what, we might say of
manufactures, that without detract:llg from their impor-
tance, England, mistress of the sea, and of her boundless
colonies, and securein her agrictulture, and the enter-
prise of people,. is not dependent upon manufactures
for her greatness. Let Mr. Ciistrarne,.if he can, disprove
this proposition ; but whether he disprove it, or subscribe
to it, let him not charge it upon'. the Conservative party,
but leave it with its proper owner, the writer of the
Standard.

COURIER.—The Ministry continue their game of
making hay while the sun shines for themselves and their
friends, and not the least active in this praiseworthy pur-
suit, now as ever, are the Elliot of the Hannibal tribe,
as any one may learn who will take the trouble of turn-
ing to the Gazette. There it will b e found that, out of
eight officers favoured with promotion to the rank of
" Companions of the most Hon. 7.Ailitary Order of the
Bath," two, at least, are of the countless Elliot breed,
namely—Captain Sir Humphr 2y Fleming Senhouse,
R.N. ; Captain Charles Ramsay Drinkwater Bethune,
R.N. For anything to the &Int nary that we know, the
whole eight may be of that sari e class, regarding whose
elevation, our poetic correspond ent, singing the exploits
of Daniel, the great patron and -protector of Whiggery,
irreverently, though prophetical ly, says, amongst other
things that-
-4‘ He knighted the Whigs with the Devil's long tail."
Both these Elliot made knights may be, and doubtless
are, very gallant men, and the name of Senhouse is as-
suredly not unknown to fame or the profession ; but we
certainly are at a loss to recollect the other knight of
many names in any capacity w hate ver, unless he be the
identical person once so famous: lb,: his forensic fights at
Leeds, as the paid Ministe ris.l, counsel on the side
and in the great cause of Strip and Billyreller v. the
poor Factory Children. It is, liov ;ever, difficult to under-
stand how the briefless berth's, er, provided- for as we
imagined at the Home-office, cot 11d so suddenly become

The triumphant return of Messrs. Waion and
Rennie, the two Liberal candidates, liftd!thus wresting
both seats from the Ipswich Tories, which they ob-
tained by means notoriously flagrant and corrupt, is a
triumph over two of the officials expectant of the to-be..
formed Tory Government. Mr. Kelly, whose connection
with Ipswich has added nothing to his reputation for
purity, and has cost him thousands of pounds, the fruit
of meritorious labour in his profession, was named as
the Tories' new Solicitor-General, and Mr. lierries,
his fellow-candidate and companion in misfortune, was
already talked of as the new President of the Board
of Trade.

PERSONAL ORNAMENT.—A highly-interest..
inm work might be composed on the various and dissimilar
modes of personal embellishment practised among different na-
Cons, and the chapter devoted to the teeth could not but prove
one of the most attractive in the volume. Among many savage
nations the practice is well known to prevail of dying the teeth
black, which is esteemed a high degree of ornament ; while, ors
the contrary, our British fair, relying on nature for their at-
tractions, seek only to preserve the charms which she has so
richly bestowed on them, and endeavour simply to preserve the
white and pearly character of the teeth. Among the various
means suggested for this object, we would select the celebrated
Odonto," prepared by Messrs. Rowland, of Hatton-garden,
as the most admirable and perfect dentifrice yet submitted to
the public,
