MR. PETER AINsIVOIiTH, M.P.

(FROH A CORKESrONDENT.
Bolton, March 11.
Honour to the enlightened and independent Electors of
Tolton i •
They have at last aroused themselves from their
lethargy, and are determined that their intentions shall be no
longer frustrated by apreending liberal Representative and
A
nominal Reformer. Requisition is in course of signature

the object of whirls was to preserve the Reform Bill from beinis•
ticutr,dised in Ireland, and the defeat of which involved the
matt of a Liberal Administration, was such as to leave no other
alternative than to call upon him to relinquish a situation he
was so unworthy to occu.Y. He is pledged to conform to the
wishes of a majority of the electors ; and the time is short that
precedes his poitical dissolution, when he must relinquish Ys
Parliamenta.rvy duties, ai,d retire into that obscurity from which
he ought not to have emerged.
Mr. Ainsworth came out as a candidate for the rci ro,enta-
tion of this borough at the lost election, in opposition to Col-
Torrent, a gentleman of acknowledged talent, and a decided
Liberal—one to whom I feel proud to haring this opportunity
of paying a just tribute of praise for his sterling worth, his
high character and attainments, his uniform constancy in the
advocacy of the people's rights, and who previously repre-
sented us with honour to himself and satisfac ion to Isis sup-
porters, but was superseded by the mere force of • prep d' ice to
a townsman.
It is probable that a meeting of the Electors twill be called
ere lone, for th mi,
e purpose of concerting measures to meet the
emergency.

LIGHTING THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.--A
statement is going the round of the papers, to the eff, ct that
the c st of lighting the House with wax-lights was 1,3004 per
annum ; a corr2spondent, who professes to have correct in-
formation on the subject, states that it wi only one-fourth
of the sum ; an.t he says that the statement to the effect
that the p..e.ent cost to the Government is only Us. per night
is so absurd that it carries its own refutation—as Mr. Gur-
n,y has constantly employed at the House of Commons five
or six men, whose daily wages cannot be less than 20s.
or 30s. "The public," proceeds our informant, " are pro-
bably not aware that at this very time the House of Com-
mons is nightly watched by two or more firemen, who have a
powerful engine, hose, ax., all in readiness to act in case of
explosion or fire from the gas experiments ; and so apprehen-
sive of danger are the authorities that an immense beam of
wood of two tons weight is being erected in
,the roof of the
House of Commons for the express purpose orearrying one of
the most powerful fire-engines made, and whiOi is at present in
the course of manufacture."
