WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

There is an old adage—" When certain people
out, honest men get their rights." From the follow'
ing hand-bill and letter now in circulation, it would
appear that the honest men of Westminster are liked
to get theirs. We copy these for the enlightenmet
of those few benighted individuals, who may
thought that patriotism alone was the inducement o
Mr. Cochrane, and this supporters. The squabbles
of the Moral Candidate, Don Juan de 174114
the Moral Agent, Mr. Savage, and the Election,
Agent, Mr. Croucher, form an interesting episode,
from which the Electors of Westminster may cira-
their own conclusions:—.

" WESTMINSTER ELECTION. the

Grape 3 Tavern, Old Compton-street, on Friday eveniq;

This'attempt, repeated for the third time last eveniare
was conducted by Mr. Strachan, a member of the com-
mittee of St. John's and St. Margaret's who had
secretly, and on his owe authority alone, and in direct
opposition to the instructions sent from this office, sum-
moned the chairmen of committees to meet at the Bel-
grave Hotel, although the object of the meeting of the
committee of St. George's Outward was to transact
their own local business.
In consequence of Mr. Strachan's unhandsome and
injudicious conduct, Mr. Cochrane feels he must decline
all future co-operation or communication with him. 5
am instructed, but not without regret, to make the fol.'
lowing statements—which, from a feeling of considera

THE QUEEN'S MONUMENT AT GUERNSBT Tv
understand that the committee for the erection of the monu-
ment in commemoration of her Majesty's visit to Guernsey
have made choice of a plan for the building, and that the
architect by whom it has been furnished is shortly exPected
in the island for the purpose of making the necessary ar-
rangements for the commencement of the work. The to-
mcat is now, therefore, arrived when the question of the
site must be decided. The committee, we believe, consider-
ing themselves bound by the vote of the subscribers, take
it for granted that the column must be placed on the spot
now occupied by the windmill, but we know that a very
large number of the subscribers still prefer the new ground.

GENERAL LYING-IN HosPlTAL.—Yesterday a
meeting of the governors of this charity was held in the
board room of the Hospital in the York-road, Lambeth. The
Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The report stated the
hospital was funded in 1765, as an asylum for the wives of
poor industrious tradesmen and mechanics (and principallY
for the wives of soldiers and sailors), and supplying poor
married women at their own habitations with profe,smonal
advice and medicine free of expense. During the pat
year 320 in-patients had been admitted, and 556 attended at
home. The financial statement was satisfactory, there being
a laglance of 6461. in the hands of the bankers.
