WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

There is an old adage—" When certain people fall
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 likely
to get theirs. We copy these for the enlightenment
of those few benighted individuals, who may ha"
thought that patriotism alone was the inducement of
Mr. Cochrane, and this supporters. The squabbles
of the Moral Candidate, Don Juan de W'
the Moral Agent, Mr. Savage, and the Election
Agent, Mr. Croucher, form an interesting episode/
from which the Electors of 'Westminster may draw
their own conclusions:—

"WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
o A public meeting of electors will be held at the
Grapes Tavern, Old Compton-street, on Friday eveningi
April 23, 1847, to give Mr. savage an opportunitY
addressing the electors, in exposition of his conduct In
reference to his connexion with Charles Cochrane, E 9::
and his election for Westminster. Chair taken at eight
o'clock. Mr. Cochrane and the Chairmen of his COorY
mittees have been specially invited to attend.
" Cumrnittee-room, Grapes Tavern,
Old Compton-street."

Sir,—lt is at all times a painful circumstance to nie.
when my duty in election matters calls me to act
with Fompt severity towards any parties who have
been actizig with nn:; bu:, in promoting and protecting
the interests of Mr. Cochrane. it is my imperative (111t1
to concur in what he has done, and announce to you the
course it has been fou,A mc, ssary to take in reference
to Mr. Say: ge and Mr. Strachan.
In consequence of the unwarrantable attempt repeated
last night, by Mr. Strachan, at the committee ineetmg 0
St. George's Outward, lidgrave Hotel, to appoint gr.
Savage "moral ag+ nt" of the whole of the vomit:little°
formed to conduct Mr. Cochrane's election, I 01in-
structed to inform you that Mr. Cochrane has, from visa
night, deemed it his duty to cease to employ Mr. Savage,
feeling assured this moral agency,
for West-
somethitz more than securing his return
as it Is called, meansminster.
"his attempt, repeated for the third time last evening,
was ci,llducted by Mr. Strachan, a member of the com-
mittee of St. John's and St. Margaret's who bad
secretly. and on his own authority alone, and in direct
opposition to the instructions sent from this office, suns-

In consequence of Mr. Strachan's unhandsonie and
injudicious conduct, M. Cochrane feels he must decline
all future co-operation or communication with him.
am instructed, but not without regret, to make the fol-
lowing- statements—which, from a feeling of considera-
tion towards Mr. Savage, on account of his family, and
the persecutions which he is reported to have endured,
Mr. Cochrane had anxiously desired not to disclose; but
since Mr. Savage Will continue to persist in countenanc-
ing rite fianenting of dissension, in order to get hinisel
appointed a " moral agent," as his friends call him, itis
necessary yea should be informed why Mr. Cochrane
feels he has a right to control his conduct, the reason
being, that ever since Mr. Savage has been employed by
Mr. Cochrane he has been regularly paid for hi, services.
From December, 1846. to February 23d, 1847, be
received one guinea a day; his son, one guinea a week,
and all expenses paid besides. Since the latter period'

curred considerable anxiety, and lost much of his value

create dissension, and to bring his agent and other nal;,
ployed parties into discredit; and he trusts that you wl" •
at once see the propriety of his adopting the above cour.m2'
as no cause can succeed without unanimity of action
and honesty of proceeding.

THE QUEEN'S MONUMENT AT GUERNSEY
understand that the committee for the erection of the WOW'
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 his been furnished is shortly expected
in the island for the purpose of making the necessary
ar-
rangements fur the commencement of the work. The mo-
ment
site must be decided. The committee, we believe,
merit is now, therefore, arrived when the question of the

ing themselves bound by the vote of the subscribers,
it for granted that the column must be placed on the spot
now occupied by the windmill, but we know that a veil
large number of the subscribers still prefer the new green u*
