ELECTIONEERING.

About 150 Members have been returned who did
not sit in the last Parliament.

In his election speech on the hustings at Devizes,
Sir Francis Burdett assured the North Wilts Electors
that on his " first entering into Parliament up to the
present period, he had not in the slightest degree deviated
from the one single strait line he had in the first in-
stance marked out for himself 1" This is' as rich a
specimen of grave wooing as modern times can show.
The Hon. Baronet started in life as an ultra-Reformer—
he is now an ultra-Tory ! He was once all for the
People—he is now all for a faction !He was once an
advocate for Universal Suffrage—he is now an advocate
for suffrages within Tory limits ! He was once for
Annual Parliaments—he is noW shocked at the idea of
even Triennial Parliaments ! -He once protested nothin
should ever induce him to fraternize with the borough-
mongers—he now sits by the side, and votes with the
Rump of the Boroughmongers ? Yet he tells us he has
never in " the slightest degree deviated " from his prin-
ciples ! Exquisite wag !
The Park-gates at Wycombe have been closed
against the families of all those who voted for Dashwood
and Bernal. An old woman, who heretofore had re-
ceived the perquisites of the Abbey dripping-pan, has
ken deprived of her sinecure.

Messrs. Mundy and Colvile having proceeded to
canvass the Derbyshire villages on horseback, they were
pelted by the villagers, who were irritated at their
cavalierly conduct. Mr. Bell jocosely remarked on this
at the hustings, thus—" What business, I should like
to know, have they to go about the county with a body
of people on horseback following at their heels, and
trampling down the populace.—(Hear, hear.) A body
of horsemen can in no way assist the explanation of tbeir
sentiments, nor give them good principles if they do not
possess them. I have canvassed North Derbyshire more
than once, but I never was preceded by any one of more
importance than the bill-sticker.—(Loud laughter.) I
was in the habit of sending on the bill-sticker before
me, and then. perhaps, without being attended by a
single soul, I would ride into the village and proclaim
myself to the people. I said, shall be very happy to
speak to you if you will hear me,' and they all did hear
me. I. used to call it carrying my principles in my
portmanteau, but these people have such a vast deal of

t principle, that they must have fifty horsemen to
charge of it."—(Roars of laughter.)

THEATRICAL.
Pasta has been singing of late at Berlin with mode-
rate success. Taglioni is about to dance si,: times at
Stockholm, as a Swedish-born danseuse shoul.. do, prior
to retiring from the stage. Batte, the violorc•
make a long English tour, and Liszt is .to winter in
Russia.

PINE ANTS.
The excavations making in Paris for the fortresse4
have, as it was expected, brought many things to
liglit
Where the Seine and Marne conjoin, Roman tuilitarf
ornaments without number have been found, with human
skeletons as if on a battle-field.
Rose-culture is carried to great height at Pviins!
in Champagne. M. Opoix, a great name there ta this
line, was the first who formed the famous couserve from
them, and recommended the tinting of bonbons with the
rich colour which the flower yields.
