FROM THE 31ORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
HERALD.—We are not about to fatigue the
public with
any more particular recurrence to the scenes of corruption,
bribery, intrigue, jobbing and intimidation, which have dis-
graced the administration of the public as well as parochial
business of Marylebone, from time to time, during the last
twelve years. We are not about to recur to the " scandalous
journal" of the adventures of vestrymen and guardians (! !)
it the possible uses and adaptations t,f poorhouses. Neither
shall we, on this oceasiet,rcpeat the catalogue ofthe inpertincut
.nockeries of the electoral franchise which have been practisci
n the borough, for some time previously to this election in the
valloting farce, and the Warren street Convention Parlia-
ment ;—the interference with the Constitutional exercise of
that franchise to the detrirnerti• of two of the candidates
And the benefit of two of their antagonists; —the au-
dacity of the scheme for deluding- the. electors, nor the
crafty simplicity of those who acquiesced in proceedings so
destructive of all claim on their part, to the character for in-
dependence of opinion, of feeling, or of action as candidates—
not, perhaps, without some remote conjecture of their resulting
benefit to those who by the will of this self-constituted tribunal
were to be elected. All this is now matter of history. Yes-
terday afternoon, at four o'clock, the numbers a' the close of
the poll left Sir James Hamilton (a Conservative candidate
chose return would have reflected honour on any constitu-
ency which had chosen him) and Mr. Bond Cabbell (on
whose noble benevolence it is impossible that any notice of
ours can confer additional honour)—were left in a lamentable
minority of—in round numbers—some 1,300 each ! The Whig
and the Radical candidates topped them by That score re-
spectively, and Marylebone returned Sir Benjamin Hall
and Sir C. Napier. It is not our practice to conceal opinions
out of respect' for individuals or parties, when we hold that
their expression is required by our duty to the public. We
shall not deviate into any such compromise of our opinions on
this occasion. Whether or not there be reason in the adage
that " truth is not always to be spoken," we shall speak it,
now, and with very unfeigned regret. We think, then, that
this unfortunate election, for we will not affect to undervalue
the importance of the stake because we have lost it), has been
forfeited, needlessly and recklessly, by the Conservative majo-
rity of Marylebone. That the majority of its constituency is
Conservative, we are as entirely satisfied, as we are unhap-
pily certain that they might have averted a catastrophe which
presents so humiliating a contrast to the c)ieering and trium-
phant results of the labours of their Conseitive brethren in
so many of the English boroughs.
treeebeerinereiraameranee -titat-I..:;ctk.hire--and
South Derbyshire are the only English counties in which the
Whigs so much as threaten to disturb the present Conservative
state of the representation ; and in these their threats are im-
potent, and their success morally impossible. This being the
prospect of the coming week, it is impossible not to feel that
the public interest will he chiefly concentrated upon three of the
contests which we have enumerated :—those, viz., for North
Lincolnshire, North Cheshire, and the West Riding of York-
shire. In North Lincolnshire, the battle will be fought under
every disadvantage except that of principle, yet a glorious tri-
umph may be confidently anticipated. It is true that Lord
Worsley's father, the Earl of Yarborough, possesses a
vast estate in that county, and can influence a numerous
tenantry. It is true that he is supported by the
whole Anti-Corn-law party, with which he has recently al-
lied himself. It is true, also, that the Radicals remember with
gratitude his votes for the ballot, and that the political Dis-
senters and Romanists owe him a good turn for his uniform
hostility to the Established Church. We are also well
aware that lie is straining every nerve to save himself, and
that means of the most questionable nature (as those ^an
witness who know the extent to which treating has been
carried in the isle of Axboline alone) are resorted to on his
behalf. But all these circumstances ought to operate
only as so many, additional stimulants to the zeal and
energy of the really free electors of Lindsey. It is in their
power to teach a lesson which shall long be remembered, to a
man who sneers at the idea of their advancing any pretension
to independence. Had Lord Worsley professed himself an ad-
vocate of the repeal of the Corn-laws—had he followed out
consistently the views which two years since induced him to
support Colonel Seale's motion for grinding foreign corn in
bond for exportation—he would have now occupied an intelli-
gible position, and one which, if he could have made it pala-
table to his constituents, he might have creditably maintained.
ADVERTISER.—To the metropolitan elections, as the
great beacon indicating the state of public opinion, and the
probable result of the contest, now being waged in the other
boroughs, have the Tory journals been lately directing public
attention, with the most confident vauntings of anticipated tri-
umph. These elections are now over, and the result is, that
of sixteen Members the faction have succeeded in obtaining
only three representatives—two for London and one for West-
minster—the two for London being pledged to a modification
of the prohibitory duties, and elected more through personal
and private, than political considerations ; and the one
for Westminster intruded into the representation by
occult and insidious influences, of which the great
body of the electors had no intimation till at the
last moment, when taken by surprise, they were de-
feated solely by being unorganised and unprepared to meet an
attack for which all the subsidiary agencies of the enemy had
been for weeks in most active preparation. Yet for this, for
having gained less than one-fifth of the representation of the
metropolis and its suburban boroughs, the Tory organs pipe
their jubilate as vociferously as if theirs was a complete and un-
questionable triumph. They have gained in London two oppo-
nents of Ministers, net two supporters of monopoly, but, on the
contrary, two representatives who profess themselves ready to
support measures similar to those proposed by Ministers, ifbrought
forward by other men; and though, previous to the contest,
the election of four Tories in London was confidently pre-
dicted by the factious and false press, yet now, when only two
are elected, the same shameless scribes exclaim, " London has
even exceeded our anticipations"—" The metropolis has nobly
done its duty." Such attempts to delude the public are per-
fectly disgraceful, even to the Tory press. However opposed
in opinion, we respect our adversaries while they confine them-
selves to fair discussion and the open advocacy of their own
principles ; but when, failing in argument, they attempt to
prop up a bail cause by the falsification of facts, and the asser-
tion one day of what the next must prove to have been a gross
and wilful perversion of truth, our aversion to the cause is
merged in disgust and abhorrence of the gross duplicity and
imposture enlisted in its behalf.

MAGAZINES—(CONCLUDED.)
NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
The Census forms the subject of an amusing
paper in this Number, under the whimsical title.
of" The Census and thei Non-Sensus fir 1841."
" Recreations in Natural History" contain.seve-
ral curious anecdotes respecting the habits and
peculiarities of English birds. Speaking of the
nightingale the writer states that it is never
heard in Wales. This is a mistake. We have
heard it ourselves among the leafy hedges of
Carmarthcnshire. "The Life and Adventures of
Charles Chesterfield" move on heavily and lan-
guidly. The most spirited scenes in the present
chapter is an interview between a haughty Eng-
glish Baronet and a professed gambler, to whom
lie has lost a large sum at play, and who vainly
insists on repayment. A duel is the conse-
quence, and the Baronet is shot dead. " Ba-
jazet Gag"—what a capital name for the
manager of a minor theatre, who
,is apt to
consider himself quite a Sultan among slaves!'
—is from the pen of Mr. Douglas Jerrold.
The character of the pompous lessee, and of
his submissive subaltern Duckweed, is drawn
with infinite spirit and breadth of detail. The
author evidently had some liVing original in his

eye, when he sketched the portrait. Some of the
dialogues are full of keen sarcasm, and the epi-
sode of the cats cannot he read without provok-
ing hearty bursts oflaughter. Mr. .TeKrold is spe-
cially severe oa poor diurnal critics, but we forgive
him his joke on account of its cleverness. " A
French Election" is a sprightly dramatic scene,
whose dialogues abound in smart, characteristic
touches. "Every Man his own Trumpeter" sug-
gests,
ironically of course, the expediency of
every man sounding his own praises to the utmost
extent of his lungs. We give a sample of the
author's manner of treating his theme :
But with kings these noble strains are looked upon as
a natural language. The big trumpet is as essential to
the crown and sceptre, as the big drum to a mirtary
• band.' rt-caris--XtV:-wazr s-ure' 4. the 'ilidA`'effeetrVe-rif
royal performers. He practised rather the subduing
than the astounding, but his execution was wonderfully
grand, and had an immense effect, not only with his
courtiers, but throughout every portion of his domin-
ions. It made him worshipped as a deity, and regarded
as a model. The feeble were awed, the strong instructed.
Gentle was sometimes his flourish, at other times it was
so terrible it penetrated the most secret dungediis ; and
equally true is it, that closely as his tones weYe imitated
by his nobles, not one attained a tenth part of their mas-
ter's skill. In short, he seemed made for the in-
strument, and the instrument for him. Since his
time, notwithstanding that wherever three French-
men were to be found, there were always three
trumpeters, Louis XIV., in his own country, had
but one rival. He, however, was worthy of him—he
was Napoleon Bonaparte. Bonaparte's bulletins must
always be regarded as the finest performances on the big
trumpet that ever were attempted. His threats of in-
vading England—his grand attempt to destroy her com-
merce—and the rfrincipal portion of his conversation at
St. Helena, deserve the same estimation. That the
efforts of the imperial trumpeter were greatly admired
by his own countrymen, there cannot be a doubt. No-
thing could have been in such perfect accordance with
the national taste, and even to this day their effects
may be traced in the language with which a vast number
of Frenchmen speak of England. Bonaparte's 'style of
execution was very similar to that which has since dis-
tinguished similar grand performances by the Emperor
of China. The same prodigious confidence in his own
resources is the leading feature in both, and we doubt
not a like fate will attend them, if the brother of the
sun and moon continue in his present humour, and our
warlike operations against him are carried on in a pro-
per spirit.

THE EAST INDIA AND COLONIAL MA-
GAZINE. ..
_ Alexander and Co.,Leadmhall-street. _

On taking up this journal a man may dream
himself into India, and fancy himself at any
Eastern uniusementhe relishes. By wie article
he may sail up the.Cantonrh-er in a "bamboo-
masted boat;" in another, take a trip to Chat-
poor in a palanquin, or sleep in a bungalow tit
Cawnpoor. If he at the same • time be both
orientalist and politiOan, "Our Relations
with Herat" and the "Case of Tuankoo Ma-
homed Saud" will gratify him. In the latter
paper the writer stands up as special counsel to
defend Tuankon, and complains of the injustice
which the Royal family of Quedah Ilan sustained
from British authorities for the last twenty years.

THE CHURCHAIAN.

There is an intelligent essay in the Number
before us, on " Christian Education," which de-
serves the reader's attention, for it is penned in
a placid, Catholic spirit. The following remark
is perfectly just, and borne out by experience :
" The Encyclopaedist, when we put him down
to distinct branches of study, becomes little over
parts, though mighty ina whole; the generalizer
becomes the worst individualizer conceivable."
" Fairy Mythology" is a curious paper, by the
Rev. H. ChristmaS.. The poetry of the Number
is little, if at all, above absolute common-place.

A DICTIONARY OF SCIENCE, LITEI?A-
-TUBE, AND ART. _ _ _

This work has now reached the sixth number,
which completes one-half of the publication. It
is needless to say that, under the management
of Mr. Braude and his skilful coadjutors, it re-
tains its character, and will form one of the
mostVg.ful books of reference on science, lite-
rature, and art.- articles in this
number are on " Horology," " Hydraulics,"
" Language," " Level," " and " Light-
houses," in which a great deal of information
may be found in a small compass, and neatly ar-
ranged. - Towards the close of the number we
have the following explanation of a parts' term
in America, which is as common there as the
epithets Whig and Tory in this country :
Locorocos.'--The name by - which the ultra-
democratical or the Tory party in America has been dis-
tinguished since the year 1834. The term originated in
the following incident. Some of that party having had
a meeting at Tammany Hall, near New York, the lamps
were accidentally extinguished ; and on the hall being
relighted with lucifcrs (which in America aro termed
locofocos, probably from the Lat. loco foci, instead of a
fire), the word was adopted as a distinguishing appella-
tire, and is now of universal application.

LITERATURE.
A CYCLOP2EDIA OF COMMERCE, te.
By William Waterston, Accountant.
Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh.
The object of this work is to furnish an exposi-
tion of commercial subjects in a condensed and
comprehensive form, suited to the wants of men
of business, as well as to those who require a
convenient book of reference. It is firmed some-
what after the plan of M'Culloch's "Commercial
Dictionary," but it is more condensed. The
work will be completed in five or six parts, with
five maps, at a moderate price. The authorities
from which the principal informatiOn is taken
are generally given, and, what forms a great
convenience, the particular Acts of Parliament
which refer to them are appended in smaller
type to the article, thus :
BEEF (Fr. Ban/. Ger. Rindfieisch), the flesh of the
ox, forms, in a salted state, a considerable article of ex-
portation, especially from Ireland. In 1838 there were
exported of the produce of the United Kingdom 42,161
barrels of beef and pork of the declared value of
148,4031. ; about two-thirds of which were sent to the
West Indies ; and the remainder chiefly to Australia,
British America, Mauritius, and - India. In the same
year, 13,108 cwts. of salted beef were imported ; only a
small part of which, however, was entered for home con-
sumption.
The importation of fresh, or corned, or slightly salted beef for
home consumption is prohibited by 3 and 4 Wm. IV., c. 5, see.
58, GO ; and by 3 and 4 Wm. IV., c. 57, see. 43, forenin,beef ca.
dorted from the warehouse must be taken on hoard as merchan.
disc only, and not consumed as stores.
