TO BREWERS and SPIRIT MERCHANTS.
A YOUNG MAN, a native of Scotland, wishes a SITUA-
TIOI,I either as Salesman to a Brewer, or to attend or manage a
Wine and Spirit Vault. Unexceptionable reference and security
given for intromissions. Jf suitable he would advance a fair amount
of Cash, along with his services, to be admitted to an interest in the
concern.—Letters (from principals only) addressed K. C. B. 13, Sun-

THE CASE of JANE WILLIAMS, a native
of Llanfyllan, in the County of Montgomery, for many years
well-known as the Chief Manager of the Somerset Coffee-house,
Strand, London, being a person deserving of great commiseration.
A few friends of Miss Williams have determined to make her des-
titute condition known, with a view, if possible, of raising a sum stif-
flci ent to invest in the purchase of a small permanent income for her.

To those who knew Miss Williams, either in her public capacity or
private li!e, little need be said; but to those who are strangers to her
it may be truly observed, that a more kind-hearted and •attentiVa
person is hardly to be known.
Having served the late Mr. Sanders, formerly the Proprietor of the
Hotel, with great fidelity for a period of thirty-three years, he be-
queathed to her by his Will, a legacy of 700/. ' • but unfortunately at
his death, his circumstances did not admit of Miss Williams benefit-
ting by the provision he had intended for her. Thus situated, she
was assisted to take the adjoining house as a lodging-house; but
whilst there, and still managing the Hotel, she was suddenly seized
with a most severe attack of paralysis, which wholly deprived her
of the use of her right side, and partially of her speech, and is now
(notwithstanding she was, through the kindness of a benevolent
friend, sent to an hospital at 13ath, intel,ded for persons of her con-
dition, and kept there two seasons) without the prospect of recovery.
Being thus severely afflicted and wholly destitute, it is believed
that her painful situation need only be known to induce many bene
volent strangers to unite with her friends in subscribing a fund ca-
pable, at her time of life, of realising a small income for her
absolute wants, which, indeed, will be an act of generosity and
charity, and the means of saving a most deserving person from
pining her remaining days in the misery of a workhouse.
In conclusion and in justice to Miss Williams, it should be stated,
that during many years she was the principal support of her aged
parents.
Subscriptions will be thank fully received by Messrs. Twinings,
bankers, 215, Strand ; Mr. Wm. Jones, Crosby-square ; Mr. John
Allen, 4, Bffliter-square ; Mr. John Parry, 31, Great Russell-street,
Bloomsbury ; and Mr. Pugh; 17, Wilton-place, Belgrave-square,
London ; and by Richard Griffiths Parry, Esq., and M essrs. Jones,
Yearsley, and Howell, solicitors, Welsh Pool ; all of whom can bear
testimony to the truth and deserving nature of the case.

but bad imitations of the genuine articles manufactured and sold
only by him.

TORIES.
We have fallen on evil days and evil tongues.
"We are knaves all—believe none of us!" We have
powerrul enemies—but these we could face, brave, and
conquer. We have false friends, and these are the most
po‘A erful enemies of all. WE CANNOT TRUST EACH
OTHER. Our union is a rope of sand. Our committee
appeals to us on behalf of four candidates, but each can-
didate canvasses only for himself. They have no faith
but in a common hypocrisy. They are only agreed in a
policy of pious fraud and political deception. They appeal
to us, not on the broad ground of general constitutional
principles, but on the one paltry pretext of Exeter-hall
fudge. They neither stand by Protection nor denounce
Reform. They hide Toryism out of sight, and put
Conservatism in their pockets. They utter our ancient
war-cry in a whisper, and Churchmen bowling for help
to Dissenters, roar the Jeremiad of Protestant ascen-
dancy in the voice of Stentor. What would they
have ? Can we do without a Government ? Whither
are we drifting ? Would they have us once more
to be driven on the shoals of Peel, or, on
our forlorn raft, to make for the breakers
with Bentinck? Is their contest an honest one? Do
they really wish to drive Russell from the helm, when,
through the national agony, he has brought the vessel
of the State within sight of port, to
make way for the
fair-weather pilot who, though he cannot weather the
storm, can "Pursue the triumph and partake the gale?"
If they fail, to what end is the struggle? If they con-
quer, to what purpose is the vietory? "Under which
King, Bezonian, speak or die?" If the Ministry is driven
into opposition, is Protestantism saved? If a Peel or
Bentinck Government j.. 1, famed by their defeat, is
Popery suppressed? The encyclical Letter of Tam-
worth, and the Bull of Lytint.re both before you.
Can your candidates follow
will
to lead; or
do they think that any ministe will hold office on the
tenure of a veto in their followers, against the declared
elementary principles of their policy ?

Which of these learned Thebans do your candidates
mean to follow? If neither, are they to be mere bodies
without a head? If either, then where is Protestantism?
The witch told the world that
" Like a rat, without a tail, I'll do"—
but even necromancy has been found hitherto incom-
petent to enable Conservative TAILS to do without RATS.
The Protectionist Alderman of Monday is the Free-
trader of Tuesday, and Johnson himself has just issued
his recantation of his support to the claims of Native
Industry; while Masterman—
" Who turn'd his coat, and who would turn his skin"—
finds his accuunt in first forsaking his pledges, and now
deserting Peel.
" Sir, he can turn, and turn, and still go on and turn;
And he's OBEDIENT as you say, VERY OBEDIENT."
When, and where, is all this to end? How long are
you to be tricked and fooled? What are you and your
principles worth if your very candidates disclaim them?
I gibbet them in the chains of their own recantation,
an example to political malefactors, to the contempt and
scorn of all true men. Look at it, read it,
mark, learn,
and inwardly digest the sign manual of their abject
palinode. I will NOT march through Coventry with

GENTLEMEN,
A list has this day been published of Candidates for
seats in the New Parliament. In that list the Candidates
are classified as being Liberals, Peelites, or Protec-
tionists. Against this classification, in as far as we are
principles
wee ave again and again explained at
upon those explanations
concerned, we protest. We:are neither Peelites nor Pro-

were conveyed the following morning to Birkenhead, and
from thence would be carried to Dublin by a steamer
employed for that purpose.
